Download and install Spybot:

Remember to update it and use the Immunize feature.

I have the same problem with these Aurora pop-ups. I keep scanning with AdAware and Spybot and keep deleting SAHAgent, Hotbar, VX2, and BookedSpace... but it keeps coming back. I even went into the Registry and deleted all the appropriate keys. Then my PC works fine for about 30 minutes and out of nowhere I get hit with 20 pop-ups at once?


HELP!!

Another thing you can do is download mozilla Firefox that is the program that I use it totally blocks spy ware, pop ups etc but after you do this you don't want to use internet explorer anymore!!

Definitely, Firfox is a great solution to PREVENTING anything from getting on your computer in the first place. Not only does it do that, you can also personalize you settings, appearances, etc. not to mention the endless features you can download for it - there are lots but they are so useful. www.firefox.com

Also use a good firewall, like zonealarm..

Although, this provider was believed to have somewhat dubious associations with advertisers, it apparently fixes the Aurora and similar problems (e.g. BestOffers, BetterInternet, BTGrab, Ceres, DLMax, LocalNRD, MSView, MultiMPP, MxTarget, OfferOptimizer, Pynix, SolidPeer, Twaintec, Zserv). As I perused their EULA and Privacy Policies, they appear to be upfront.

Good Luck.

Do you recall what url or pgm did you access to get this ad/spyware pgm loaded? :confused:
