help! my aura.com pop-ups

[catsmeowjrk]

Within the past couple of weeks I have been getting pop-ups from the myaura.com website.  One day they just started appearing.  I get 20+ myaura pop-ups in an internet session.  I am using AOL's built-in browser and have the Internet security settings set on high.  How do I get the popups to stop?  Please help me!

You didn't say what you were using for protection (or anything else about your system for that matter!).

[catsmeowjrk]

I'm using everything possible!  
I have Microsoft AntiSPyware, Spybot, Ad-Adware, and I have  McAfee.  
I have Windows XP. n
Do you need anytyhing else?  I just want to get rid of the popups!!

Just so you know, none of the above have found anything.

[GX1_Man]

And did you do this in Safe Mode with System Restore turned off?

How about posting a Hjack This log file. It will take several posts to get it all. The link is in my previous response.

I'm still here.  Did you forget about me?

[dl65]

 catsmeowjrk   ...... we see your log file , but for some reason you ommitted the very top part ,where it tells us about your o/s ......that should be included and then we will have the complete picture and then we should be able to better advise you .

Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1
Scan saved at 9:13:20 AM, on 7/14/2006
Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600)
MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP2 (6.00.2900.2180)

Do you want me to report the entire log too?

Ok first thing... Unzip HiJack this... otherwise it will cause problems if anything goes wrong.

You only have a few optional fixes... [You don't have to fix spywarebot but it's just a suggestion.

[size=14]If you choose to remove spywarebot[/size]

Go to add/remove programs and remove SpywareBot. It is a rogue antispyware and gives you a lot of f/p

Then fix these:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SpywareBot] C:\Program Files\SpywareBot\SpywareBot.exe -boot
O9 - Extra button: WeatherBug - {AF6CABAB-61F9-4f12-A198-B7D41EF1CB52} - C:\PROGRA~1\AWS\WEATHE~1\Weather.exe (file missing) (HKCU)

Find and delete these folders:
C:\Program Files\SpywareBot

reboot.

go to Control Panel > Internet Options > Privacy tab

Make sure your cookie settings are as follows:

First and third party = prompt
Always allow session

Clear your cookies.

That should get rid of the pop-ups...

Thanks for all the help! :exclamation
