How can I get rid of these two.
I run Beta Spyware and it comes up that they have been
zapped but they are back again within minutes.
Someone please help. Even a trojan horse programme won't
shift them!

Lavasofts Adaware:

I agree the transpnders gang are very nasty and can be
very difficult to remove fully

File names related to this variant are:

Poller.exe, uacupg.exe(random name) , Nail.exe,
thnall1ac.html(random name)DrPMon.dll, svcproc.exe.


The Nail.exe is the main reinfestational agent which also
creates a random named exe file in the %window% %system%
folder that is 74kb in size and the name in the
properties will possibly show: TODO.

The windows service file could be C:\WINDOWS\svcproc.exe

To check for this go to the run command and type
services.msc.

In the services window that opens,press name to sort into
alphabetical order,check for System Startup Service,if
you find it right click it and choose disable in the
dropdown box. Then hit the Stop button.

Good Work Andre !!!


Heres abit more info to make sure you kill this ;)



Upon running Aurora.exe, the following items are created:

- Deletes Aurora.exe & creates

C:\WINDOWS\Nail.exe, then a chain reaction:


C:\WINDOWS\system32\Poller.exe, which creates

C:\WINDOWS\system32\magihjz.exe [random filename]

C:\WINDOWS\svcproc.exe
C:\WINDOWS\tdtb.exe
C:\WINDOWS\qvbdnifharv.exe
C:\WINDOWS\dbwqis.exe
C:\WINDOWS\GGEEINPO.ini
C:\WINDOWS\system32\magihjz.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\Repository\FS\INDEX.MAP
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\Repository\FS\OBJECTS.MAP
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\Repository\FS\MAPPING2.MAP
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\Repository\FS\MAPPING.VER
C:\WINDOWS\lu.dat
C:\WINDOWS\kwv2.dat
C:\WINDOWS\kwv2Temp.dat
C:\WINDOWS\wupdt.exe
C:\WINDOWS\TMP_FILE_0.tmp
C:\WINDOWS\TMP_FILE_1.tmp
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\testUpdate.txt

Populates Internet Explorer cache with ads and tracking
cookies, and populates the user's Temp folder.

Creates a Run entry in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi
on\Run for wupdt.exe & magihjz.exe so that it runs when
the user restarts.


Nail.exe generates "exe" files in the System folder
with random names,they will be 74kb in size and have TODO
writen when you right click and view properties.svcproc
is running as a windows sevice,bolger.dll installs as a
BHO.Dr Pmon hides in a random folder usually monitor or
driver related.


Looking at ABetterInternet's EULA :

----------------------------------------------------------
Uninstall and Remove Software - You may uninstall the
Software at any time by visiting www.mypctuneup.com.

Visiting www.mypctuneup.com is the primary method to
properly remove the Software. MyPCTuneUp will leave
behind a unique identifier on your computer for the sole
purpose of notifying ABI that you no longer want the
Software to operate on your computer.

This comes from BetterInternet though (makers of Aurora)

"The MyPCTuneUp uninstaller program will never collect
any personally identifiable information, it will not
install any additional programs, and it will delete
itself once it finishes the uninstall process."


Contradicts big time but if your infected you dont have
much to lose it could fix it fast for you.

And just to show how close these Two programs really are
is this press release from Direct Revenue



"Revenue today announced the launch of its newest ad
client, "Aurora" (TM).

The Aurora ad client is designed to improve product
visibility and consumer services. The roll out of the
upgrade to the DR behavioral network began on April 5th
by replacing outdated ad clients in an effort to improve
consumer awareness. Like other DR ad client brands such
as "SolidPeer", released in September '04 and "Ceres"
released in November '05, the Aurora Ad Client complies
with the branding and removal standards of all major
proposed Federal legislation relating to online
contextual ads such as HR 2929.

Direct Revenue CTO Dan Doman said, "From a technology
standpoint, Aurora represents a leap forward in
connecting consumers to advertisers."

The Aurora launch follows the January debut of Direct
Revenue's MyPCTuneUp(TM), a technical support feature
that helps Direct Revenue customers with technical issues
including removing software from their PC"
