We usually don't like for reps from the spyware companies to shill on these
ngs. You should try to sell your fix somewhere where folks who don't know
better are hanging out. Here, we know what the tool really does and it is
not what you advertise.

Nice try though.
 
No problem Andre.

The Nailfix you posted is the best way for Aurora in my
view,Run it in safe mode Then use Ad-aware SE ,clear the
prefetch folder and run Ccleaner to remove any other
traces.

Thanks to Robert Cooper & Spywareinfo for the fix

Ive tested the unistaller from mypctuneup on Aurora and
it left alot of files on my pc.One random named file in
the system folder another in the windows/lastgood
folder,It left alot of thnall1ac.html. files in my
prefetch folder and didnt remove Bolger.dll,

It did stop the Aurora Process and made it easier to
clean up but its very suspicious it didnt remove the
random files as this is where the re-infection comes
from.Nail.exe makes the random system files that are
exactly the same as the main Aurora.exe file you
downloaded to get infected.So if you miss the random file
it will do a fresh install when you reboot,To make it
even more fun the random file deletes its file and
replaces itself with a new random file each time you
reboot ;)


You can see that if you scan the Aurora.exe and the
random system files for malware

Then scan the random file and you will see the MD5 is
different but there isnt any difference in the file
itself.

With the mypctuneup site leaving files on my pc I
wouldn't trust the unistaller and I think they may just
be making it easier to infect people with the next
Transponder when it gets released,Thats just my view
though and there really isnt any proof of the uninstall
site doing anything malicious, im just suspicious of the
reason for leaving bolger and the random files on my pc,


Download These with the Nailfix File Andre posted and it
will remove Aurora without having to use their site:
