folks,

I'm new to this forum so please bear with me as I learn the protocol of proper posting. Additionally, I am brand spankin' new to the internet with respect to spyware, hijackers, spammers, viruses, etc. Suffice it to say I am goin' nuts because the Hun has reared his ugly head on my system and I cannot even begin to kill it. I need help!!!! I read some initial notes of help TonyKlein provided to swannycan in forum "Another Hun Bites the Dust".
1. I downloaded the registry search tool and found 81 instances of "TheHun"!!!!!

2. I then created the remove.reg with the following text in it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"YAHOOSubst"=-

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"YAHOOSubst"=-


3. This seemed to whittle it down to 41 instances.

4. I NEED HELP!!!! Need someone to look at my hijackthis log (attached below) and the register search tool log showing the 41 instances "thehun" (also attached below) and show me how to get rid of the hacker stuff that has bogged down my computer!!! Thanks in advance for the help!!

Reboot and see if your system is normal.
did what you said about using CSShredder and it found nothing more (I had already run it earlier). At this time internet explorer is still working. did what you said with hijackthis could not bring internet explorer up after I rebooted. not sure what to do now. :oops:
Bulldog, how did you know to put in REGEDIT4 instead of 5 or 6 or some other number? I ran regedit and look and found my regedit program was version 5.1 should I use those same text strings except put REGEDIT5.1 instead? I am trying desperately to kill thehun from my system too. If you do a search for my username, you can see where I have already tried to solicit help, and the results so far. Thanks in advance
Can you post a new HJT log please.
Also:
Go to Start > Run, and paste the following into the box, then click OK:

regedit /e C:\IE.txt "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"

That will export the contents of that particular registry key to a C:\IE.txt file

Please do a copy and paste of the contents of that IE.txt file, and let us have a look.

I think we should get a reg Guru to take a look at the other keys and see what they think is the best way to tackle this… sit tight.
After that, you can delete every single one of those 41 that you found in the registry. First, in regedit with cursor on Home, do File->Export. Name it backupbad or something like that. In case of finger slippage, double-clicking backupbad.reg will merge it all back into your registry. Then, every one of those things you found should be deleted from the right-hand pane.

CNM, NOT SURE HOW TO DO "GOTO REGIT AND PLACE CURSOR ON HOME, ETC" NEED MORE EXPLANATION HERE. I.E. I COULD NOT FIND "HOME" LAST, THANKS FOR ALL YOUR PATIENCE GUYS!!!
Go to Start > Run > type regedit enter
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Right click it and select export. Save as RunKeyBak.reg and save it somewhere you will remember it.
Now find these in the right hand pane , right click and delete them:
"lar"="C:\WINDOWS\System32\llass.exe"
and
"CMESys"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\CMEII\\CMESys.exe\""

Now please use the left arrow key on your keyboard to collapse all these open folders. Keep hitting it until you are back to just the My Computer and the five HKEY folders.
Click on My Computer > right click > export. Then as cnm suggests Name it backupbad or something like that. In case of finger slippage, double-clicking backupbad.reg will merge it all back into your registry. If everything goes well here we will be deleting both these exported files later. (RunKeyBak.reg and backupbad.reg )

Now navigate to :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Gator.com\Gator\dyn\GCH\GBL
find
1067920180.0"="thehun.net12029
in the right hand pane and right click > delete.

Do the same for each of these (navigate to the HKEY and find the value in the right hand pane > delete.

Reboot.

- Right-click the Start button, and choose 'Open'.
- Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
- Select the View Tab.
- Under the Hidden files and folders heading select "Show hidden files and folders".
- UNcheck the "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)" option.
- UNcheck "Hide file extensions for known file types"
- Click Yes to confirm.
- Click OK.
Now click on the search button at the top of this window.
type or copy / paste
llass.exe (make sure it is double L)
into the file name box.
Then select *browse* at the look in box and navigate to :
C:\WINDOWS\System32\
Then click *more advanced options* and put a check in the first three boxes.
Click search.
If found.. delete it. This may sound silly after all this work, but I doubt you will find this file. I think your AntiVirus program nabbed it already. But we need to be certain.

Then
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
Restart the computer.
Go back to the System Restore tab and UN-Check that same box. This will have cleared all your restore points and any nasties saved there.

Download Ad-Aware at http://lavasoft.element5.com/support/download/
After installing AAW, and before running the program, update by using the Globe icon.
Shut down and restart Ad-Aware.
Now press "Scan Now", "Select drives\folders to scan" and select the active partition (usually C: ), then 'next', and let Ad-Aware scan your drives.
It will find a number of "bad" files and registry keys. Click 'Next' again.
Rightclick in that pane and choose "select all" and click 'next'.
It will ask you whether you'd like to remove all checked items. Click OK.
Finally, close Ad-Aware, and reboot.

Post a new HJT log when done.
BULLDOG, AND OTHERS, THANKS VERRRRY MUCH FOR THE ASSIST!!!!! HAVE A QUESTION, WHILE I WAS FIXING MY COMPUTER, I RAN ACROSS THE FOLLOWING SETS OF TEXT:

1. date-manager.com (not sure, but I think this is a part of the gator package)
2. gator.com (I was on another sight and they said this web page was bad)
3. sextracker.com (this just sounds bad)

I am attaching the following files:

1. hijackthis log file

After you get this fixed I recommend installing a HOSTS file to block these things.
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

Also go to the last link on my post.
Hi redraptor, good job cleaning up.
I assume you are no longer being hijacked and your search and homepage are fine. ?
Those registry entries you posted are only leftovers, they have no values associated with them and are harmless. Did you install update and run Ad-Aware ? If not you should still do that.
You should also install Spybot S&D :
http://tomcoyote.org/SPYBOT/index1.html
After installing, first press Online, and search for, put a check mark at, and install all updates.
Next, close all Internet Explorer windows, hit 'Check for Problems', and have SpyBot fix everything it labels in red.

Did you happen to find the llass.exe file ?

Now you can delete the two regfiles we had you export. Find where you saved them and delete them. You should also clear your system retore points as well.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
Reboot.
Now go back to the system restore tab and UN-check that same box and Apply.

Clear your temp internet files and defrag your computer.

Cheers.
