Have any of you experienced an issue with the following
spyware:

Transponder.ABetterInternet.Auora and
Transponder.ABetterInternet.DrPmon.

The spayware is found and deleted by the AntiSpware
program, but it keeps returning. I'm looking for some way
to fix this.

Thanks,
GP

If you are under attack and MSAS does not seem to help:

*Submit suspected spyware report in the tools menu of MSAS*

*Here is an excellent page showing you how to kill off spyware!*

*Symantec Adware/Spyware removal tools:*

PREP YOUR MACHINE FIRST!
- IF you are using Spybot S/D, UN-Immunize your computer
- IF you are using Adaware, turn off AD-Watch
- Disable all other active anti-spy applications
- Dump all temporary file locations and Internet files

1. Download:
lspfix.exe www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
winsockxpfix.exe www.snapfiles.com/get/winsockxpfix.html
ccleaner.exe www.ccleaner.com
killbox.exe www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/killbox.php

2. Clean out all temp file locations with ccleaner.exe

3. Install and use killbox to delete stubborn files

4. Reboot into safe mode - http://tinyurl.com/pfca
5. Run MSAS at least twice in full/deep mode
6. Run a robust, updated antivirus software scan
7. Reboot into normal mode,see if problem has been corrected

8. If you think something is there but can't see it, download:
- Blacklight by F-Secure
www.europe.f-secure.com/exclude/blacklight/blbeta.exe
- RootKitRevealer by SysInternals
www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/rootkitreveal.shtml

9. If your problem is Virus or Security patch related:
In the United States or Canada, call 1-866-PCSAFETY
MS will provide free support for those issues.

Battle Notes:
- If you have trojans (files that won't go away),
you may have to disable System Restore on XP:

Application Notes:
Registering a VB6 dll seems to fix missing agents:
1) Open up a command prompt (start -> run -> cmd)
2) Type in the following "regsvr32 msvbvm60.dll" (without the quotes).
3) Close and re-open Windows AntiSpyware
4) If that fails, install VB6 runtime files:

Yes, go to the Control Panel -- Add/Remove Programs.
You'll find it there -- forget the name -- "The
Something . . . . Try to remove it and a new window will
pop up from the sneaky sleasy company that put it on your
machine. Win XP can't even remove it and my MS
antispyware did not either. It's diabolical! Go to
their web site and download their uninstaller. It's
scary to have to go to one of those sites, but I gave up
and found that it worked.

Perhaps you might be able to clean it by doing searches
within Regedit to remove anything to do with Aurora and
Buddy, etc. I've already forgotten the executable
program name, sorry.

Same thing for me, spent four hours trying all sorts including deleting registry entries...no joy.

Went to the abetterinternet site and clicked on the unistall tab and follwed their instructions. Hey presto, no more auroa! Very easy, I kid you not.

Good luck
