Aurora

[Gary]

Has anyone found out how to permenantly remove the Aurora
Adware. This is driving me crazy.

AntiSpyware removes it, however it does not prevent
further infections.

Thanks

Sorry. The search was not working when I logged onto this
newsgroup and I later found 1st that I posted in the
wrong place and then that there was already a post with
the aswers that I needed.

Thanks

You may need to empty your system restore points,Drpmon &
Bolger.dll is sometimes left in the restore area.To turn
off system restore goto start then right click my
computer then goto properties then system restore.
Check the box 'Turn off system restore' then press apply
and exit


Reboot into Safe Mode by hitting the F8 key repeatedly
until a menu shows up (and choose Safe Mode from the list)


start the ABIRemover.exe, press install, wait (explorer
window will disapear)


in Safe Mode, double-click on nailfix.bat. Your desktop
and icons will disappear and reappear, and a window
should open and close very quickly.


Next run a full scan with Ewido & Ad-aware SE (Ewido will
find the random named files in the system folder and
windows/last good folder if they exist.Ad-aware will
detect and remove DrPmon and Bolger.dll )


Goto start then run and type

prefetch

delete the contents of this folder


Run Ccleaner and remove anything found,also use
the 'issues' button and fix any problems that are
detected.

Reboot & Re-Enable System Restore (Goto start again,then
right click my computer,then choose properties & goto
system restore) Un-check the box 'turn off system
restore' and press apply


Your done !
