It was good! The install link worked! I did a scan after the uninstall and a couple of day of using the computer and reboots each day (I turn off the CPU during the day and at night) --McAfee only found 2 items relating to ABetterInternet, both of which where in temp. folder. All the other Spyware/Adware scanners found little to nothing.. none of which related to aurora... GOOD JOB UNINSTALL!!!

I am not sure but I do know that I had Aurora on my system and I ran this program and it seemed to clean it I am not 100% sure but seemed to have worked. Here is a link to the site where I downloaded the program. http://www.mypctuneup.com/

I tried running this uninstall program and it keeps giving me errors saying I have adjust my settings to allow sessions/cookies...and even after I do it I keep getting this error.....so I'm still stuck with this sh1t.

Man... that really sucks... maybe you have other issues with someother Adware/Spyware/Virus that is messing that up... You dont have any anit-spyware/adware stuff running while doing this, do ya? Maybe something is blocking the cookie... like Cookie Blocker or SpySweeper... :-\

[mooseman74]

No...no other spyware/adware running that I can find or tell...usually keep my computer pretty clean. I did try Ewido Security Suite a little while ago and I think it may have worked.....it's been a while now since I had any aurora popups.....fingers crossed!

the only guaranteed way then is to completely wipe the computer, by formattiing it and reinstalling everything

sometimes we have managed to removed the majority of it with various tools adn if you want to try then post a Hijackthis log. BUT be warned it is a long and difficult fix and is NOT guaranteed to work

go to here and download 'Hijack This!' double click on the file and it will install to C:\program files\hijackthis and create an entry in the start menu and an optional shortcut on desktop.
Click on the entry in start menu or on the desktop to run HijackThis
Click the "Scan" button, when the scan is finished the scan button will become "Save Log" click that and save the log.
Go to where you saved the log and click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" then Paste the log back here in a reply.
It will possibly show issues deserving our attention, but most of what it lists will be harmless or even required,
so do NOT fix anything yet.
Someone here will be happy to help you analyze the results.

DO NOT run that wwwmypctuneup.com removal tool!!!!!!!!! They tell you to turn OFF your firewall before you run it....I tried it just to see if it would try to 'phone home'.....Kerio immediately popped up, and it got DENIED!!!

What kind of removal tool phones home???? and what is it trying to send????????

This procedure will remove this malware:

yes the removal tool needs to connect to it's controlling website to work

The instruction tell you that

In all tests so far it has removed all of the malware without putting it back on or anything else on and I am perfectly happy to suggest using it until it is proved to install something or stops working

[zardiw]

Well, any legitimate 'removal' tool would have NO NEED to connect to the 'home office'.......You can let the Fox in the Henhouse if you want, but you can count me OUT on that deal buddy...........z
