I have been using the microsoft spyware and found it to be
great. Now, however when I get to something listed as
Transponder ABetterInternet.Ceres the software hangs and I
can't complete my scan. Any ideas or suggestions??

First you need Adaware SE :

http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-
8022_4-10045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5

Then close Ad-aware SE and download the new VX2 Cleaner
(Not the one of thier site as it will not detect Aurora)

http://www.lavasoftresearch.com/upload/app/vx2cleaner.zip

Save the file where you can find it easily then Extract
the files and copy them (Left click and cover the files
and then right click and copy) then open Lavasoft's Ad-
Aware "Plugins" folder and paste them into there(Right
click and paste).

(C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE\Plugins)

Run Ad-Aware and click the Add-ons button in the main
window.Select VX2 Cleaner from the list.

Click the "Run Tool" button in the lower right corner of
the window.Click "OK" when asked if you want to execute
this tool.It will say VX2 variant found then press
clean.Next it will say to reboot and run a smart scan
with Adaware.

It does miss acouple of traces which I will list below
but it kills the Nail infection and makes it look so easy.

Delete these if found:

C:\WINDOWS\ffsnvqmgpiy.exe
C:\WINDOWS\rramcx.exe

Then you can clear the Temp Internet files and the
contents of the prefetch folder to remove the final
traces if you wish:

goto start menu and run and type %temp% delete the
contents of this folder or at least the files that are
not in use then start and run and type prefetch and
delete the contents of this folder and its finished !

-------------------

Also download ewido (http://www.ewido.net/en/download/)
along with the updates, CCleaner
(http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp) and updates, and
nailfix.exe (http://www.spywareedge.net/nf/nailfix.exe)
and any updates (if applicable).

Reboot to Safe Mode (F8 before Windows screen during
boot/reboot). Run nailfix. Next run Ad-Aware (same
things as from Andy Manchesta). Next run ewido and
remove any spyware it finds. Now run CCleaner. Finally
reboot the system.

Thanks Alan I will try this. Somedays you just want to

throw the machine out the window.
 
FWIW, I think that the VX2 cleaner is now "released", so it is a little
simpler to get and use.

Trying Microsoft Antispyware in safe mode is another thing to try.

I will try anything at this point. Thanks.
