I'm at my wit's end with this one. Made the mistake of clicking on a link in a friends journal, and now I've got some unpleasant stuff.

I keep getting popups from "Aurora", Spybot doesn't pick anything up, Adaware DOES but doesn't get rid of them (second scans shows them coming back immediately), and AVG is going crazy over Trojans. I can't seem to clean this system up!

I worked with it for hours last night until I gave up. Help?

Hey,Dragonchilde

Just so you know your running both an out dated WinXP
& IE but do not update them till we have you clean.

HGD

Unfortunately, I know I'm outdated, but there's not much I can do about it. it won't accept my CD key when I try to install SP2.

Hi,Dragonchilde

Hmm well after try SP1

HGD

Well, I ran both, but we still have all the same problems. ewido went ape****, and I had to shut it down, because it kept trying to clean multiple files after the scan. Whatever this thing is, it's propagating like mad. AVG also picked up YET ANOTHER TROJAN. Make that four. This is after being physically disconnected to the internet for an hour, during all scans.

Here's my report from ewido:

What exactly happens? Do you get an error? Are you sure that you have the proper key?

Is your XP an OEM version or a Full Version?

To check your current activation status please type the following in the RUN box:

oobe/msoobe /a

If you cannot apply Service Packs & Windows Updates fixing these problems is like bailing water in a leaky boat.
We have no way of fixing the leaks without Windows Updates & Service Packs.

Shared copy of windows. Like I said... I can't update. *shrugs*

I normally don't have problems with this sort of thing, since I really don't go many places on the web. I just visit the same four or five sites. I got this mess from clicking on a link in a friend's journal, as I said.
