what kind of antispyware program do you use? if you dont have one than download microsoft anti-spyware. before you run it, make sure it isnt running on smart scan, scan it on full system scan. and if you have a C:\ drive as well as a D:\ drive than make sure both of them or checked for scanning. there is a chance that your anit-spyware program might be infected as well, so click this link to scan it online, no downloads required exept for an activex download you need. scan it for spyware, or you can scan it for the full system scan if you would like but it will increase the time, select both your c and d drive if you have 2. and run the scan, it should find it and remove it. if the problem presists just let me know. |

Hi there, run Norton Anti-Virus. I downloaded ewido security suite 14-day trial. That seems to have fixed the problem. If I still have problems I will downlaod Microsoft AntiSpyware. thanks |

Aurora is a malicious adware program that tries to make itself impossible to remove. Before fixing the problem, be sure to call the creators at Direct Revenue, LLC in New York to let them know how you feel about them causing so much anguish. Their phone number is 646-613-0376, and they are located at 107 Grand Street, 3rd Floor in Manhattan. Now for the fix...go to http://www.mypctuneup.com/ and use this uninstaller. Hopefully the anti-adware legislation going through Congress will help put these scum out of business. |

DO NOT INSTALL mypctuneup!!! Note that they provide a tool to remove through an affiliate at MYPCTuneup.com. So if you remove Aurora with MyPCTuneup?. notice that you agree to allow them to install a web bug on your computer in exchange for utilizing their uninstall software.(second paragraph of their privacy policy) Also notice how their privacy policy langauge dances around to avoid responsibility regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about children under the age of 13. This strikes me as an incredibly tortured line of logic. As best I can tell, they take a ?don?t ask don?t tell? position?. if we don?t ask if you are under 13, we don?t know? therefore, we can?t be held responsible for distributing information about children under the age of 13. This is astounding! It would be like saying, since I didn?t check to see if I had any communicable diseases, I can?t be held responsbile for infecting anyone else. Seems like a different ethical code than I would prefer! ?MyPCTuneUp, during the delivery and your use of the Uninstallation Software(Software), does not collect any personally identifiable information about you, such as your surname, address, telephone number or e-mail address, nor does MyPCTuneUp require such information from you before downloading or installing the Software. However, to enable MyPCTuneUp provide and operate its Software, MyPCTuneUp collects certain types of non-personally identifiable information about individuals who install the Software. This information may include your Internet protocol (IP) address, your domain, your operating system, your browser version, type and language and your Internet Service Provider. MyPCTuneUp may use invisible tracking or counting devices known as ?web bugs? to register that a particular web page has been viewed and/or ?cookies? or alphanumeric identifiers that MyPCTuneUp transfers to your computer?s hard drive through your web browser to enable MyPCTuneUp?s systems to recognize your web browser. MyPCTuneUp may share non-personally identifiable aggregate information about you with third parties. Children?s Privacy Policy and Use ? The Software is not directed to children. Because MyPCTuneUp cannot determine with any degree of certainty whether a child is using a computer at a given time, this ?Children?s Privacy Policy and Use? explains MyPCTuneUp?s practices regarding the collection and use of personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen and provides important information regarding your rights under federal law with respect to such information. MyPCTuneUp does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen. If MyPCTuneUp becomes aware that it has inadvertently received personally identifiable information and/or data from a user under the age of thirteen, MyPCTuneUp will delete such past data from its records and will cease to collect any new data from that computer, including any non-personally identifiable data. Since MyPCTuneUp does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen, MyPCTuneUp also does not knowingly distribute such information to third parties. Further, because MyPCTuneUp does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen, it does not condition the participation in online activities of a child under thirteen on providing personally identifiable information. if yuo want to get rid of this annoying pop up adware, i suggest downloading 'adware away' to remove it. make sure you update it before running scans for best results. I've added link where you can get a copy of this prog from download.com. http://www.download.com/Adware-Away/3000-8022_4-10382877.html?tag=lst-0-1 |

this is for owoman-ga. i noticed that you have aws weather bug and incredimail on your system. remove them now. they are know spyware and adware linked programs. if you want the weather check the weather channel and use gmail because its great. just remember to get rid of weather bug and incredimail. check out Spybot SD and Adaware ver 1.06 from download.com both very good but would suggest buying or atleast trial of Spysweeper from Webroot. |
