    I hate my PC!!!!

    I just spent the last 2 1/2 hrs trying to scan the damn thing and at 99% scanned, the damn virus takes over and turns to web page off. So now I have to start over. But on a bright note, it did find over 200 infected files! *sarcasm*

    So I know I'm not crazy. Or my Pc isn't posessed.

    Shame on you for not previously installing a virus program.

    Install this anti-virus program. (If it has problems installing then might try bootng into safe mode first)

    Use Avast, pretty lady.

    It's free, truly autoupdating and 98% effective.

    And then run SpySweeper 4.0 to get rid of your spyware issues that you no doubt have. It's also free (for 14 days, but you only need it for one).

    Finally, get thee sweet ass over to Mozilla and download Firefox 1.06 so you can keep that spyware off of your system.

    Have questions? PM me.

    Well I have Spysweeper, Avast, and Norton and I still have whatever it is that's causing it.

    Shame on me? Lol, I already had virus protection.

    Every time I repair or delete bad files, it mutates and creates another problem.

    I just don't want to pay that much to have someone fix it and take the chance that they will fuck it up more.

    Any other ideas guys?

    Well, I can't open more than one internet page anymore w/o it freezing up.

    I have WAY TOO many windows and program files that I shouldn't, flies that just aren't supposta be there, and when I delete them they pop back up.

    I got this message yesterday when I started this thread, before Avast:

    "DLL C:\Program Flies\Internet Explorer\DBGHELP.dll is not a valid windows image"

    And that way from just trying to open Explorer to surf and come here.

    I keep getting Aurora pop ups even after the Spyware and Adware removal systems.

    My Pc is running slower than my neighbors' and she only has a 32MB Ram. Mine is 256 with cable connection.

    I defraged a month ago, so I know that should have helped.

    I'm almost 1/2 tempted to deal with it for a few more weeks till I get a wicked cool new laptop or something equally as sweet.

    Unless of course you guys migh be able to help.

    BTW is PC-Cillin really good, or worth it?

    Avast found 4 Trojans, 2 Worms, and 28 different Adware programs, and was supposta remove them....

    But I'm still getting crap for speed, response, and being able to have more than one page at a time. I also still have Aurora popping up.

    ARGH!!!!!!!!!!

    Go here to see what you have to do to kill Aurora/Nail.exe.

    If you start using Firefox instead of Explorer, you won't have this problem.

    Click here to download Firefox, and prepare for browsing greatness.

    Yes, it will work with your cable connection and yes, it works under XP just fine.

    Depending on the damage done by your spyware problems, you might have to also do a CHKDSK at some point on your drive. That will repair file damage, or at least attempt to repair.

    Ok I have Firefox now, and it is running a little better so far.

    I just did a Spy Sweeper search and this is what I found so far:

    Drsnsrch Hijacker (running software)

    And this is ALL ADWARE and SPYWARE:
    Abetterinternet
    CoolWebSearch
    CWS_NS3
    CWS_NS3 Hijacker
    CWS_TINY0
    Drsnsrch.com Hijack
    Drsnsrch Hijacker
    IE Plugin
    ShopNavUpdater

    And it's not done yet. And other ideas guys?

    And I'm still getting pop ups, and I still have Aurora, but the directions above are Latin to me. lol.

    Remember that in SpySweeper (are you sure you have Webroot's SpySweeper 4.0? There are similar programs using the same name that are fronts for spyware delivery) you have to purge the files it finds in the search from the Quarantine section afterward to delete them for good.

    Also, make sure that you're scanning your System Restore Folder (it's under Options in SpySweeper).

    Aurora/Nail.exe, to my knowledge, can only be removed manually, so if you can't manage the process outlined in the CA link, you might want to get friendly with an IT geek who can do it. I don't know of a program that removes Aurora/Nail.exe effectively; this is why the company that makes Aurora (and its new variants) is probably going to be sued by the state of NY.

    ^^^Nope I have the 2.6 version but I'm in the middle of upgrading/purchasing the newset version right now.

    I have a buddy that might be able to help, if nothing else works do you think you could talk my hubby through it? He's much better with this tech stuff than I am. He got rid of Sasser for us when we got it. So I think he pretty familiar with the basic ins and outs of this damn thing,lol.

    Let me know. Thanks again so much CO, I really owe you one for this.
