Yesterday my father's computer suddenly got a bunch of spam and weird programs like "VirtualBouncer" and "PowerScan" and "EARN" and stuff like that. So...I deleted those through Add/Delete Programs not knowing what they were. Later I used NAV2003 for a full system check and found 24 infected files. It got rid of all except 3 that are still in quarantine called "winmain.exe" or "winmain[1].exe". Still there was a lot of spam and other crap going on so I used Search and Destroy to kinda clean it up a bit. Then I checked the startup in msconfig and found a bunch of startup items that were said to be virus related on "sysinfo.org"....here they are: 'regedit -s sys' 'soundmx' 'winmain' istsvc' 'powerscan' 'UpdateSats' 'stlbdist' 'wupdater' 'LsxI52' 'AUTOUP~1' 'stcloader' 'slmss' 'Loader' 'mwsvm' 'winlogon' and 'Virtual Bouncer'....Now what it looks like to me is that somehow he got tons of viruses...but I don't know what to do to get rid of them all and all their registry things and all that....I need help or something because I know theres got to be some special way to get rid of all this crap without me screwing more things up with the registry and stuff. Can anyone help me! Please!

Yeah, sorry bout that...should've added this:

Should I turn off System Restore and then restart in Safe Mode and try the full system scan in NAV? or should I get some program that deletes these "Trojan Horses" as NAV named them

Matt,
There is some stuff that niether might remove. Give a bit, just sittin down to dinner.
Give CoolWebShredder
a shot. It might clean things up a bit and repost your log.
Be backhth shep

1. Run this uninstaller:
http://home01.wxs.nl/~kleyn080/uninst.exeWhen done, use the following tool to delete the files themselves:
Download Drpepertobackup.exe, save to disk, and doubleclick the file; it will self extract to c:\.
Find the "C:\drpeper\Find backup and Delete Peper files.vbs" file and double click it.http://www.mjc1.com/files/mo/drpepertobackup.exe
On the first prompt, copy and paste: Oval60.exe .... and hit ok.On the second, paste: Lkts40s6.exe and hit ok again.
It will find all the files, delete them and will make backups in the same folder.
It'll open a text file (Peper.txt) with the list of all files deleted.2. Download and run CWShredder:
CWShredder3. Run HijackThis again and place a check in the box next to the following items. Doublecheck so as to be sure not to miss one.
Next, close all browser Windows, and have HT 'fix checked'.You Must restart your computer when you're done.

C:\Program Files\Media
C:\Program Files\Common files\updater

C:\Program Files\VBouncer4. Reboot, run another Hijack scan and post the new log.

Alright...so should I do what Tom41 says to do...or should I use TDS and CoolWebShredder...or should I do both and if so in what order in the sequence of Tom41's should I use TDS and CoolWebShredder

Tom eats viruses for breakfest, lunch and dinner. Follow his advice and it will not hurt to run TDS-3 after you do. All it can do is say it did not find anything.
KTTD

First off I just want to thank everyone who's helped me so far! Second...I'm on the part when I'm doin the DrPeper thing. But what happens is when I hit OK after putting in Oval60.exe NAV pops up and says malicious script and tells me to stop it...is this what is supposed to happen?

Alright another problem...After I disabled NAV and all that stuff...I started DrPeper again and put in the two things and each time it said that it was not allowed...some runtime error or something...so it didn't work...what now? Also should I disable System Restore cause Im kinda reluctant to do that

Also should I backup all my major files again while my computer is at least working before I do all this stuff...or does it not really matter

Run Drpeper again and put Lkts40s6.exe in at the first prompt and Oval60.exe at the second.
If you still get the error message, skip that part of the instructions and continue with the rest.

Alrighty...I did as much as I could...I couldn't delete the folder ISTsvc (it wouldn't let me) and I couldn't find the file stcloader in C:/WINDOWS/System32 it wasn't there...But here is my log anyhow:

Ok, You need to run this uninstaller again:
http://home01.wxs.nl/~kleyn080/uninst.exe
Then, go here and download 2xExplorer: http://d21c.com/Tom41/2xExplorer.zip (copy and paste the link in your browser address bar).
Unzip 2xExplorer. Double click and set up the following:
Menu> View> Options > Show hidden files should be checked > ok.
Menu > Tools > Find Files:
Named: *.exe
Look in: (browse or paste in) C:\WINDOWS\System32Check the following: 'Use Text Constraints', 'Search non-text files' and in the 'Find What' paste: kern32
All other fields leave unchecked!
Hit the 'Find' tab...
The scan will run for few seconds and show the results. Delete everything that is found.
Then open the task manager and end process on: C:\Program Files\ISTsvc\istsvc.exe.
Run HijackThis again and place a check in the box next to the following items. Next, close all browser Windows, and have HT 'fix checked'.
You Must restart your computer in safe mode when you're done.

Some things seem to be going a little crazy now...like i am typing, the letters will start to suddenly go all caps without me touching caps lock...some process seems to keep opening in the background cause IE keeps going to the idle state as if i wasnt using the window ...I think it might be this process called Lkts40s6 ...theres two of these and they seem to be doing stuff...also I don't know if devldr32 is supposed to be in the processes...i thought that was part of a virus too...maybe im wrong i dunno...but things seem to be acting up...all im doing is sitting here waiting until you can tell me where to find winmain.exe cause I have done all of the steps except for the restarting in safe mode and deleting that stuff

Winmain.exe could be anywhere..Use the search function to locate it. Click Start > Search. (make sure to click 'More Advanced Options' and select 'Search hidden files and folders')
(Make sure you can view hidden files and folders...open any folder and click Tools > Folder Options > View tab. Select 'show hidden files and folders')It looks like you will have to manually edit the registry to remove Trojan.Peper.
Go here for detailed instructions.http://www.mjc1.com/files/peperpage/

Alright I did everything except for removing the Peper Trojan...I will do that soon though....But here is my log after doing what you told me to do in post 21:

I'm skeptical about these two in the log:

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{D703D613-2B70-47DA-B0F6-C2B7806DD63B}: NameServer = 151.196.0.39 151.196.0.38...but I don't know what Im talking about...just wondering
Also wondering if I should do TDS3 and if so should I scan the C drive and then anything that it comes up with delete? or should I come back and post what it says is bad...I've never used the program so some help would be appreciated
Also...how could guard my computer from getting another one of these nasty trojan's haha

I had this same hijacker infect my computer. In all, I ended up with 5 virii and a seemingly endless supply of pop-ups and ad-ware that multiplies as fast as you can delete them.
After a few hours of fighting it using Spybot S&D, I downloaded the newest Ad-Aware 6.0 from lavasoft and it cleaned up the whole mess including the lop.com toolbars from IE. =)
Spybot S&D a NOT work.
