Aurora pop-ups

J

Janice

Can someone please tell me why I am all of a sudden
experiencing popups of all types from
Aurora.ABetterInernet? I have had the MS Antispyware on
my computer for several months and as of yesterday, I've
been getting bombarded with popups. I have run several
scans throughout the two days and they keep reappearing.
The other adware/spyware that keeps showing up are:
DSrchTransponder.Abetterinternet.aurora
transponder.abetterinternet.drfmonadware
possiblehosts file hijack spyware
transponder.grandsreet
ist.sidefind adware

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Janice

There's afew nasties there to deal with Aurora,IST and
probably trojan dinst/Intexp


Check your add/remove screen and remove istbar or istsvc
if found also sidefind


Download these:

First, download Ewido Security Suite.
-------------------------------------

http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

please install and run Ewido.
When installing, under "Additional Options"
uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via
context menu".

From the main ewido screen, click on update in the left
menu, then click the Start update button.
After the update finishes (the status bar at the bottom
will display "Update successful")

Do Not run ewido yet Exit and download Adaware and the
VX2 cleaner:

Download Lavasoft's Ad-Aware
-----------------------------

http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-
8022_4-10045910.html

Then close Ad-aware SE and download the new VX2 Cleaner

New VX2 Cleaner

Save the file where you can find it easily then Extract
the files and copy them (Left click and cover the files
and then right click and copy) then open Lavasoft's Ad-
Aware "Plugins" folder and paste them into there(Right
click and paste).

Download Hoster :

Run Ad-Aware and click the Add-ons button in the main
window.Select VX2 Cleaner from the list.

Click the "Run Tool" button in the lower right corner of
the window.Click "OK" when asked if you want to execute
this tool.It will say VX2 variant found then press
clean.Next it will say to reboot and run a smart scan
with Adaware.

Reboot into safe mode (Reboot and keep tapping F8 then
choose safe mode from the list)

Run a full system scan with Adaware SE

Run Ewido

Click on the Scanner button in the left menu, then click
on Complete System Scan. This scan can take quite a while
to run. If ewido finds anything, it will pop up a
notification. click remove for each


When its finished Run Hoster :

Press 'Restore Original Hosts' and press 'OK'

Clear temp and prefetch files

Goto start and run and type

%temp%

Delete the contents of this folder

Goto start and run and type

prefetch

Delete the contents of this folder

Then goto start menu and control panel and then to
Internet Options

Goto the Programs Tab and press reset web settings and
include the home page then press ok

Then back to the general tab and enter the homepage you
wish to use into the space provided and press apply


Then reboot back to normal mode and that should then be
fixed ;)

Let us know if you have any problems
