A Revolution is the Solution
Oh what a reward... And well deserved at that.
Go man go!
Go PG go!!.... in the words of Metallica..... Kill Em All! [vbg]
Nothing worse enemy than a ticked off PaperGhost! I look forward to future analysis.
Sitting on pins and needles, ghost! If they aren't shaking in their boots....they're even more stupid than we thought!
go for it paperghost
those servers where usefull
and people like these Direct revenue Crowd, are in dire need a of a damn good kicking
Virtual or otherwise
Any help you need, I'll provide. I still have a few tricks up my sleeve as well. PG, I would love to see yet another clownshoe group like this dragged into the bright light of scutiny...
I've had to deal with this pile of garbage a few times. Sadly I did not keep detailed notes. The one thing most forums and helpers miss, is this thing usually puts a folder in C: or C:/Program Files with another copy of all the files plus whatever files it used to put the infection in place. Given the history of the transponder infections, it probably updates the content too.
Phinius, drop me an email at paperghost@vitalsecurity.org. I'm curious...and would love to see more people gunning for these guys. 180 weren't the first and they won't be the last...
I have talked to Mr. Cohen and he informs me that mypctuneup.com is an "innovation that is consumer-friendly" so you must be mistaken. Why put something in Add/Remove when you can force them to go to your web site?
BTW, the latest Release 1.0 from Esther Dyson believes that about 10 percent of Direct Revenue instals come from porn. So DR is right on top of the wanker market, so to speak.
rofl Dave, nicely put 
Oh god, you mean i have to go looking at MORE porn sites? I'm starting to believe I'm actually a blonde midget called Bridget! Thank you Direct Revenue!
Go get them Paperghost. Let us know if you need any help.
It took me one hour to remove Satan -uh i mean AURORA/NAIL from my pc. One frikkin'hour! I had just gotten home after a long day's work, and tada! There's a trojan on your pc that keeps generating background progs, annoying pop-ups (even luring you into further oblivion with their un-installer promising crap)and can't be detected/deleted. Have fun. Well thank you Direct Avenue, my monday night has been destroyed.
Btw, Webhelper says they might be making a variant or something. I dunno about you guys, but i'm not doing this sh*t again. If i turn on my computer and encounter Aurora (be it pop-up or background prog) yet AGAIN, i will pull out the WAN plug on my modem and say "bye bye" to the Internet.
A good old class action suit against thses cats might be the best way to not only get there attention but the attention of the other idiots out there who think this is a good business model to follow. After all it's money that is driving them and money can drive them out as well.
/me bows before PG
Shaft them good
Heheh no need to bow, I'm just an angry young man with a lot to say
I'm not familiar with your site though, I just ran across it while searching for a way to rid myself of this trash. I'm not sure what having your full, undivided attention really means for them. I hope it means a lot of trouble though... I would love nothing more than to see these spyware/adware worms burn in hell, and I would also love to know how I help can make it happen. I'm not sure how I even got it to begin with... I'm computer saavy... I never clicked anything saying to install this. I never check e-mail on the PC that got infected by this. I had several protection programs running that should have stopped this. How is it that the company that makes this thinks it is legal? The only way I can think of that it got on my computer is through worm-like activity exploiting some (apparently) open security hole on my PC. When a class action lawsuit is started against these guys I will be there...
If you happen to find the site and / or program that installed it, let me know 
Btw with regards what me giving DR my undivided attention means is this:
a site that has had up to 21,000 visitors in one day is hurling vast amounts of bad publicity at them. Nothing works faster than a spot of negative PR
I have two computers in my home ruined by aurora pop-ups. I still have not found a single program that removes this mess and am not computer saavy enough to do it myself. Once again time to wipe the hard drives! Freakin second time this month! I make my kids surf only within AOL...never thought I would have to do that as well.
DS
I'm all for finding DR's people and offices and burning them to the ground.
I've just come across these posts after spending 5 hours trying to remove their little program. All I can say is NOW IM REALLY PI**ED.
Please if some-one knows how to remove this crap...let me know, and if anyone is giving that company grief then good on them.
PaperGhost i hope you make them burn in hell for this
Teccy, check out Spywarewarrior.com, forums.madokktor2.com, castlecops.com or bleepingcomputer.com. All of these sites have people there that can help remove this for you.
Thanks PG. by the way ive just formatted the hard drive to remove that rubbish and if i find a way to get that company i promise i WILL.
Thanks to everyone who posted its nice to know your not the only one to get it.
its got to be the most hated install around - i cant remember the last program that had so much ill feeling toward it. Oh yeah - Ceres...!
I've been trying to ditch this piece of crap for a business owner/friend - this is one of the hardest I have ever tried to get rid of. I think a good ol' fashioned lawsuit might get their attention. - John
Fuck em in the ass once for me
