ABetterInternet.aurora adware

[Guest]

MS Antispyware, as well as Symantec (current file definitions), both find and
indicate they have deleted an adware called ABetterInternet.aurora, but the
adware keeps coming up in future scans. I believe it has a file named
nail.exe. I even went to the Symantec website, dowloaded and ran a file
specifically to delete this adware, but after it ran the message indicated
the file was not on my system--Wrong! Symantec indicated they would be happy
to help via phone support at an interesting price. Hum...
Can anyone help?

Thanks Plun for your reply. I have a problem with Ad-Aware. I have used it
before. For some time now, I keep getting a message that my definitions are
old (244 days) and asks if I want to update. When I try to update I get an
error message that says "Error connecting to server. Please retry updating
at another time." I always get this message. Any advice? Thanks.

Hi

Well, maybe a firewall problem as for a lot of MSAS users
and updates ?

Have you also problem to update MSAS ? Beacuse Aurora should
also be removed with MSAS.

Are you running latest Adaware version ? 1.06.R1 is latest.

You can nevertheless manual upgrade definitions
download and unpack, manual put them within Adawares folder.
Typical, Program files/Lavasoft/Ad-Adaware SE Personal.

The VX2 plugin you then put in the "Plugins" folder.

I have the latest update for MSAS. MSAS will find this adware and when I
select Remove indicates it has been removed from my computer, but it really
has not. The file is in Windows and is nail.exe. I will try to update
Ad-Aware, but I think I have the latest version. Thanks.

Plun, I downloaded and ran Ewido and it did the trick. Thanks for your help.
