Anyone know how to get rid of Aurora spyware?
I've run AdAware and Pop up stopper which tell me I'm clear but it comes back virtually immediately.
Also getting pop ups telling me I've got a registry problem and to go to windowsregfix.com, I've not gone to that site in case it's dodgy.
thanks guys.
By the way I'm not that technical with comps so keep it simple!!!

I have just read a load of stuff on google about this.

The supposed answer is microsoft antispyware.

Cheers David, did a lot of googling too!!!
Found a forum which suggested that you click on one of the ads (was worried doing that!!!) then it gives you the option of unsubscribing from the service!!!!
I did that and it worked, but then used Microsoft antispyware to clear off the stuff left on my comp which would keep popping up.
Apparently when spybot on it's own cleans it off it just reinstalls itself under a different name!!!
Thanks for your help
