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!!
