My brother's computer had Aurora/Nail.exe on it. I followed this post's procedures to get rid of it.

I'm just not sure if it's gone. The Active Scan I ran after doing everything still pops up a few items, one (A Better Internet) looks like Aurora. After I saw this I ran another HJT and the log is below. Can anybody give me a thumbs up (or down)? Thank you.

Here's the Active Scan log..............

Delete the following...

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\cache32dsrf4535dfs

Empty recycle bin.

I had already deleted those two items.

The system seems to be running great. I've run AVG Free and it found nothing. I've also run Microsoft AntiSpyware and it came up clean, also.

The only odd thing I've noticed is that at startup (about the time AIM loads) a "Run Time Error" occurs. It asks if you want to debug. I'll try reinstalling AIM and Microsoft Instant Messenger and see what happens with those errors.

Thanks!

Nothing there.. Any problems at the moment?

[b u l l]

I removed AIM and MSN Messenger from his computer. The "Run Time Error" didn't show up after I rebooted.

I'll reinstall both of those from newly downloaded sources. (I'll scan both with AVG before opening. )

The computer seems fine now. Thank you so much for your help.

You're welcome, it's great to help!

Here's some tips for future to prevent spyware;

Detect and Remove Programs:

• How to use Ad-Aware to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Ad-Aware.
• How to use Spybot to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Spybot. Similar to Ad-Aware, I strongly recommend both to catch most spyware.

Prevention Programs:

• Spywareblaster <= SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed. (My favourite)
• Spywareguard <= SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.
• MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
• Google Toolbar <= Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.

Other necessary Programs:

• AntiVirus Program <= An AntiVirus program is a must! Whether it is a free version like AVG or Anti-Vir, or a shareware version like Norton or Kaspersky, this is a must have.
• Firewall <= A firewall is definatley a must have. Two good free versions are Sygate and ZoneLabs.
• More Secure Browser <= Internet Explorer is not the most secure and best browser. There are safer and better alternatives available. I recommend Firefox.

And also see TonyKlein's good advice;
So how did I get infected in the first place? (My favourite)

Remember Microsoft Updates!!

Visit;
