    I am continuosly getting the Aurora popup. I have looked over the threads and saw that someone else has had a similar problem. I already installed abiremover.exe and have run it. I also have Hijack This! and have created a log file. Somebody please help me get rid of these popups.

    Download the following file, after download is complete run the uninstaller. When uninstall is complete reboot and procede with the below.

    Download Uninstaller


    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the ZIP file as your backups will not be safely stored.

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gifBefore running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gifRun HijackThis and save your log file.

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next post. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post as it will be removed).

    Download LSP-Fix

    After download is complete, Run LSP-Fix

    Check the Box labeled "I know what I'm doing" and then click on the xfire_lsp_8742.dll file (in the “Keep” section) to select it.

    Then, Select the >> button to move xfire_lsp_8742.dll into the Remove section.

    Now, click the Finish Button. When the Repair Summary box appears, click OK.

    (Note: If the file xfire_lsp_8742.dll is already in the remove section, then just click FINISH.)



    Please look in Add or Remove Programs for the following and Uninstall them if found:

    Viewpoint



    Download this trial version of Ewido Security Suite

    • Install ewido security suite
    • Launch ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop double-click it.
    • The program will have a window come up. One of the buttons on the left is to Update. Click the Update button.and then Start the Update. The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
    • After it completes the update, click the Scanner button

    Now exit Ewido. Now print the below instructions or save them locally because I want you do have no browsers opened and also have no connection to the internet (unplug your cable) while doing the below.

    Okay, reboot into safe mode and follow the steps below. (If you have any problems at all trying to get into safe mode to complete these steps, just run them in normal boot mode and make sure you tell me when you come back.)

    Open up Ewido and do the following:


    • Click on Scanner
    • Then click Settings
    • Under What to Scan? Select Scan every file
    • Then click OK
    • Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will start.
    • Let the program scan the machine
    While the scan is in progress you will be prompted to clean files that are infected. Leave the defaults selections (to Remove and backup) and click OK. To save yourself some time, you can select Perform action with all infections and then click OK. With the option to scan every file, a lot of cookies will be removed.

    Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report


    • Click Save report
    • Save the report to your desktop or anyplace you will be able to find it to upload here.
    Reboot into normal mode and reconnect to the internet.

    Come back here and post the Ewido Scan Report along with a fresh HJT log.

    While the ewido scan was running it was accidently cancled and if you need the names of the files that were deleted the first time here they are. I'm sorry if this has caused any inconvinience. Besides that i downloaded LSP-Fix and I followed your instructions with it. And when I went to add/remove programs I found Viewpoint (manager) and deleted it (not sure if that was the right one :eek: ). I have a recent HJT and I have the report of the rest of the files scanned through ewido security suite.

    I have just made some new instructions on how to run and setup Ewido for scanning.

    Go back thru post #4 and we will go from there. Complete the Ewido part only!

    First, please uninstall ewido as it will block parts of this fix. Also, disable any anti-virus and anti-spyware programs so they will not block anything as well.

    Now scan with HijackThis and Check the Boxes for the following:

    Make sure All Browser Windows are Closed when you Click FIX.

    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://hsremove.com/done.htm

    O23 - Service: Remote Packet Capture Protocol v.0 (experimental) (rpcapd) - Unknown owner - %ProgramFiles%\WinPcap\rpcapd.exe" -d -f "%ProgramFiles%\WinPcap\rpcapd.ini (file missing)

    Again, make sure All Browser Windows are Closed when you Click FIX.


    NOW:
    Please boot into Safe Mode with the Viewing of Hidden Files & Folders Enabled and navigate to and DELETE the following if they should remain:

    C:\Documents and Settings\Scott\Local Settings\Application Data\Wildtangent ←–– Delete this whole folder if it exist!

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\cjb603hk.exe

    NEXT:
    Run CCleaner to clean up cookies and temp files.

    Run full scans with Ad-Aware SE & Spybot S&D and have both programs fix what they find.
    Note: Remember to get all updates before doing the scans.

    Then, as an added precaution, Go to Start > Run and type: cleanmgr and then click OK. Make sure the boxes for these are checked:
    Temporary Files
    Temporary Internet Files
    Recycle Bin


    And Click OK.


    Reboot to Normal Windows , Scan with HijackThis and attach the new log.
