Spyware
Is there any threat about Aurora? I think my computer may be infected with it any help!
Aurora is not something you want to leave on your computer and from what I have heard, it can be difficult to remove.
Here is what I would recommend.
Go to http://www.pcsecuritynews.com/spywareremover.html.
You can download the full version of Spy Sweeper for free and run a spyware check from this web page. It should remove Aurora. I say "should" because I am not sure what the latest is on the legal efforts of the maker of Aurora to prevent others from creating programs that uninstall their program. Aurora's authors are one of a few companies who are attempting to use legal means to prevent people from being able to uninstall their program.
We use Spy Sweeper in house. It works great and are very happy to recommend it.
This is a commercial product but there is a full two week free trial so you can clean your machine up without having to pay for the program. The company also offers full technical support to paid subscribers. One of the great benefits of the Spy Sweeper product is that it is produced and backed by a US company with email and toll free technical support.
Based on the recent use of spyware to steal and bank account access and other personal information, we strongly recommend having continuous anti-spyware protection on any computers connected to the Internet. If you decide not to purchase continued protection, just uninstall Spy Sweeper at the end of the two weeks.
