Click Start, Run,Type regedit,Click OK.
Note: If the registry editor fails to open the threat may have modified the registry to prevent access to the registry editor. Download and run this UnHookExec.inf, and then continue with the removal.

The worm deletes the following registry key, making it impossible to boot the infected computer in Safe Mode:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
”winshost.exe” = “%winsysdir%\winshost.exe”

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
“winshost.exe” = “%winsysdir%\winshost.exe”

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
“drv_st_key” = “%Documents and Settings%\Application Data\hidn\hidn2.exe”

where ‘%winsysdir%’ represents Windows System folder. This ensures the trojan is run every time Windows starts.
When the dropped DLL is activated, it will check for the following registry value:

HKCU\Software\FirstRun
”FirstRunRR” = dword:value

If the value doesn’t exist, the trojan creates it and sets it as 1. The DLL also opens MS paint (mspaint.exe) as a decoy and executes the actual payload.

Exit the Registry Editor.
Restart your Computer.
