Bargain Buddy: Spyware

Never mind,,, after I restarted the comp, same story, think it regenerates every boot.

 

The Aurora pop-up still comes up? I've been using my computer all day and re-booted several times and no more pop-ups. I even ran MS Antispyware and it does not find the Aurora threat anymore. Try running a search in c:\windows for "nail.exe" and see if the file is anywhere else.

 

Does nayone know of good software to get rid of these pests?

 

one easy but you can lose a lot of your stuff off the hard drive and thats format your computer to factory settings

If you are using 2000 or xp, why not do a system restore to a good solid restore date. Once you know it is stable, no pop ups etc. Disable system restore by unticking the box and clicking apply then enabling it again.

 

tried system restore, it didn't help at all.

 

i had it on my computer and when i did virus scan it popped up, i clicked to were it could be found and removed it. also go to control panel, open it see performance and maintanance, open it go tofree up space on your hard disc, and clear and clean temp intrnet files, try that.. if its win xp

Try starting your PC in safe mode and doing a virus scan.

 

System restore is one of the first things I tried. I think I finally solved it, I got Panda Titanium 2005 and that did it.

 

norton antivirus did it for me, gets rid of the nasties and if it cant delete them you click on the one wont go and it tells you where on the drive they are and you delete them your self

Ok, now that I've gotten rid of the spyware, I have a new problem, my PC is taking about 4X the amount of time it usually takes to start up, and after it does, I get an error, "can't find nail.exe" what do you do in a situation like that?

 

cant help with that its never happened to me, i just get rid of adware and spyware, and its ok
