nail.exe - created by mypctuneup.com

[Anthony White]

I have got this nagging executable that reinstalls itself
from another program. It is spawning a popup called
Aurora from www.abetterinternet.com. There is a supposed
uninstaller by the company that created mypctuneup.com
which does not work for Windows 2K. I have contacted
mypctuneup with little success. Apparently blowing me
off. I would like to report this company who is selling
adware remover software that is loaded with adware. The
BBB needs to have an address and makes it difficult to
report them. I first want to remove this malware that MS
Antispyware recognizes, but can not remove it. It
replicates itself again to give me a headache. I have
also used spybot, hyjack this, Avast antivirus software,
and PCcillin 2004 and the pesky thing is still there.

The victims of Aurora (VX2, Transponder, betterinternet,etc.) might
like to contact the purveyors of this "product" and express their
"appreciation".

Their latest "uninstaller" is still being analyzed. I do ***NOT***
recommend using it at this point in time.
