Adware Files- aurareco.exe & thnall1ac.exe

[McCallsNW]

Anyone else having trouble with finding and deleting the
two spyware files listed in the subject line?
Both(thnall1ac.exe and aurareco.exe)randomly attempt to
dail out. Norton AV catches them and I can block, but
I'm getting tired of the continuous interruptions.

Any ideas from anyone about how to rid myself of these
little parasites would be very appreciated.

good.
