Ok, first of all I was browsing your forums in hope to find help with the "Aurora" pop-up problem I have. So I went to your malware section and read the "read this before posting" thread. I was going along and had ad aware configured as asked in the thread and went to start scanning and I get the following message:

Windows must now restart becuase the DCOM Server Process Launcher service terminated unexpectedly.

And after one minute it did, so my ad aware wont run and I still have this blasted pop-up if I run any type of browser. I went back and tried running ad aware again, no dice.

Any help would be much appreciated as I would love to start working on getting rid of this thing.



edit: I only get this DCOM restart message when trying to run ad aware, just wanted to be clear. No idea what it could be from, I have no idea what DCOM even is.

Hello detoxifide, and welcome to Geeks To Go!

When you eyou get the shutdown message, go to Start -> Run and type "shutdown -a".

See if that ends the Shutdown sequence.

Ah this worked!

Thank you very much, ad aware is scanning now

You are welcome, sir!

By the way, this could have been caused by a "smarter malware" program.
So when you get your computer cleaned, it will probably stop giving you that message.
