Bah, wish they had an 800 number, I'd be more than happy to run up their phone bills with complaints.
Guess I'll have to settle on just running up their bandwidth costs. |

New York based? Go get 'em Elliot Spitzer!!!
Seriously, I think the attorney general's office should
add Direct Revenue to their existing lawsuit against
Intermix. Perhaps maybe even give it class action status.
And then there's this gem from Direct Revenue:
"the Aurora Ad Client is compliant with the branding
and removal standards of all major proposed
Federal legislation relating to online contextual
ads such as HR 2929."
This I guess would be the spyware vendor's equivalent of
a Murk (a bogus disclaimer put into spam messages that
claim they are in compliance with S.1618 or Can-Spam.)
So Rule #1 applies here as well: Spammers
Spyware Vendors Lie. |

| class action lawsuit
So why can't we sue these companies?????? This is just a plain crock that this is even allowed. Severe financial penalties should always be a risk for advertisers. Just another example of our govt selling us out.

Anyone tried this?
Wonder if it works.
I'm going to call their number with some of my night/weekend minutes and suggest others do likewise if you have cell phones. Let's fill up their voicemail.

My brother somehow got this on his computer and I tried removing it by hand by following the steps at this »www.geekstogo.com/forum/The_Auro···893.html forum. Nothing worked and I kept getting tired of trying. Finally, I downloaded the free version of SpySweeper and it took it right out.
Neither Spybot nor Ad-Aware found it as of last weekend. |

| Why would you waste time trying to clean?
Just format the damn computer. If someone gets on my PC, and DL some crap. I dont even bother to see what I can do. Pop in my Xp CD, and format and install. Take less time doing that than having to try to clean and crap. And still, I wouldent want to use a computer that has been compromised by crapware in the first place.

| At last ...
.. I know who to blame for this. I spent two days working on a computer that got hit with this thing. Finally had to just wipe the hard-drive and start over. Hopefully, someone will tie it all together and generate a tool that remove this piece of garbage.
And now that I know where to send the bill, I will strongly suggest that to my customer.
I'm not a newbie by any stretch, but this one is NASTY! I'd love for someone to feed this back to this idiot. |
