Basically I am having problems with popups from Aurora and my Vshield software thinks there is a virus in a file called POLLER.EXE. Vshield calls it a backdoor-CQQ. I also get the warning that it is called POLLER[1].EXE. I have looked all over for something about POLLER.EXE on google.

What gets me is that AVG doesnt seem to think there is a virus on my machine. But I know there is Mal/spamware on my computer because of the Aurora popups. I originally tried ad-aware to remove all these problems but it didnt seem to. I was updated to the latest as this was the first time I even installed ad-aware and checked that to begin with. Spybot didnt seem to find anything. But this time I read a post from Corrine saying to post my ad-aware log and I noticed it had the buddy.exe and nails.exe listed as problems. This I did find something on and I also thought that POLLER.EXE was related to them since Aurora is related to them usually. Any kind of insight on how to remove these menaces would be greatly appreciated.

Oh and I forgot to add I followed the directions on the post regarding where to get help on this and it mentioned

Copy/paste the complete log file in a thread of your own. Do not quarantine or remove anything at this time, just post a complete log file.

Here's my cleansing tactic: Get TDS-3 Trojan Remover free download, and update it manually.

Boot into Windows Safe Mode by pressing F8 at system bootup. Run TDS full scan/AVG full scan/Ad-aware full scan (and SpyBot if you have it).

I managed to get rid of some die hard trojan/spyware crud using this method, give it a try if you run out of options.

Thanks for your suggestion, though some of your advice could of caused later problems.

Fair enough, but you can catch related files this way that sometimes don't get picked up, but I understand that if the virus spawns an "explorer.exe" poor "Joe" might kill his computer if he follows my advice.
