First I want to say you GUYS (and gals) ROCK!! I love this forum, it has been very, very helpful. --- I was recently infected over the weekend with ABI-Network aka Aurora aka Nail.exe malware. I have read through quite a few logs about how to clean and delete this infection. I think I am almost finished (key is "almost") cleaning. I just have one problem left. I have deleted the stuff by using HijackThis, using the Services.msc and taking care of SvcProc, Ewido, CleanUp40, Spybot, Ad-Aware, Nailfix, and Norton Antivirus. I have run ALL of these programs Several times. I believe my HijackThis log looks pretty clean (see below).
PROBLEM: When I go to Add or Remove Programs, I still see ABI-Network A Division of Direct Revenue. When I click to remove this I get a pop up window that gives bunch of bull about ABI-Network A Division of Direct Revenue blah blah blah.. which I have seen way too many times now, lol. I have tried deleting this in Safe Mode as well, and I still get the same message. I can't figure out where to go from here. I have spent over 6+ hours working hard from the threads you wonderful people have posted to other who have been infected and the advice you gave them. But I cannot seem to get rid of this last piece of it and it worries me whether it is "truly" gone even though I NO LONGER get the pop up window while browsing, the computer "seems" to be acting normal again, and the HijackThis Log looks clean now.
Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance. Madcow22
