Hijacked computer - please review my log

Hello. My computer has been overrun by spyware and adware. The problems included tons of pop-up ads, difficulty and errors shutting down, and weird keystroke errors. I followed the "Posting Policy" instructions and downloaded AdAware and scanned the computer several times. I think most of it has been fixed since all the above problems have ceased. However I downloaded HijackThis to be safe and here is the log if anyone could be kind enough to look it over for me:

Thanks in advance!

 

Hi Mollyd12, and welcome to Wilders.

You do still have a few things there that need removed, but first we have to take care of the Peper Trojan which must be dealt with separately.

Follow the steps below carefully.

1. Please download and run: http://home.iprimus.com.au/mbuchan/peperuninst.exe
double click on 'peperuninst.exe', let it run and terminate. You must be online to have this work. If your firewall alerts you, do not block the program from accessing the internet.

2. Then download this script by Mosaic1, which will delete all the associated files with drpeper - http://www.mjc1.com/files/mo/drpeper.html.
Double click drpepertobackup.exe file; it will self extract to C: and create a 'drpeper' folder.
With the text in the box highlighted and the 'overwrite' existing files checked, click start.

3. Go to the file C:\drpeper\Find backup and Delete Peper files.vbs <-- and double click.

4. A box will appear, copy and paste: WCZ65.EXE and hit ok.

5. A second box will appear, copy and paste JpwpEw.exe and hit ok.

6. It will find all the files, delete them and will make backups in the same folder. It willl open a text file (Peper.txt) with the list of all files deleted. Make sure it is saved. Then rescan with HJT, post a new HJT log and the contents of the Peper.txt file - the next stage will be to remove the rest of the bad stuff.

regards,

snap

 

Hi all,

After following snapdragins advise please fix the following with HijackThis as well :

Reboot after doing so and remove :

C:\WINDOWS\emsw.exe <- this file
C:\Program Files\Common files\updater\ <- this folder
C:\WINDOWS\iedll.exe <- this file (if still present)
C:\Program Files\Alset\ <- this folder

 

Thanks for the advice. I followed your instructions and here are the latest logs:
