sandboxer popup

Hello people in the computer world, i have a problem with a constant popup and i cant get rid of it, if anybody can help this little aussie battler, then i would very much appreciate it:
PROBLEM: Whilst surfing the net i constantly get a popup asking me if i wish to download it, i have never asked it to appear and this is what is on the download space:
http://www.sandboxer.com/redirect.aspx?id=16&mid
PLEASE DONT OPEN THIS AS I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS
has anybody had experiences with this redirected thing, if so what did you do to stop it invading a computer, if not then can anybody suggest what i should do about it.
I did a search on google for the offending file, and did find it mentioned there, but the answers given there were of no help to me.

Nope, I dont think that Ad-Aware will fix this one dammit. It's the new baddie on the block. Go here cr0codile and download and run a scan with Hijack This. Most of the files listed will be harmless and/or required so do not make any changes, just click on Save Log, copy it and post it back in this thread.

Thanks for the info BUT, Ad-Aware, Spybot search & Destroy, Registry First Aid, Clean Up, all appear to have not caught up with this dam baddie. I re-installed Norton Anti Virus and it has appeared to pick up some of the trojans, this thing is leaving. i will keep it monitored and if any further info that will fix it for anybody else becomes available, i will come back and post the answers, in the mean time lets hope that Norton keeps it out of my system, i have also locked it out on my explorer sites
Thanks a heap eveyone

Yep, it's known as Peper.A. if you have any further problems, post back your Hijack This log and we can walk you through the removal.
