    By following the steps in some of the other posts I have been able to get rid of a lot of the problems I have been having with my laptop. I haven't gone through EVERY single step in each of the stickied threads, I don't really have the time to do them all, but I've done most of them. Unfortunatly, I keep getting those aurora popups when I use firefox and even more popups if I attempt to use explorer (which I don't use because of that). I've used a site to analyze my HJthis results but there are a few things on the list (.exe mostly) that I don't know how to get rid of. Please help.. My virus and spyware programs have gotten rid of everything they found and don't find anything else.
    Attached is my HJthis results..

    Well if you do not have time to run the steps in the READ ME FIRST sticky thread you will not have time to fix your problems. You have a bunch of them too. More than just Aurora popups!

    Please follow guidelines and read the announcement (No HijackThis logs are to be posted when they are not requested) and follow ALL the steps in the below.

    Run Add/Remove programs and uninstall the below:
    - WeatherBug (or Weather)
    - WinTools
    - P2P Networking

    - Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal

    Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.

    - Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.

    Now download this: ABIremover

    Unzip it into its own folder. Now boot into safe mode with no network support and do not open any browsers. Now run the the ABIremover.exe file.

    Now reboot in normal mode and complete the steps below exactly as written.


    After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem:

    - Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    - Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    - 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 downloaded ZIP file.

    - Before 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.

    - Run HijackThis and save your log file.

    - Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next message. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post).
