It's a shame how big companies will do whatever someone wants if enough money is thrown their way. This is yet another reason why nobody uses Netscape anymore. They just simply make bad choice after bad choice...shooting themselves in the foot. Obviously you can thank AOL for a lot of that too... |

| AOL's ad strategy
It all matches right now.
AOL changed its strategy long time ago to get revenue from ads, even on members. They eliminate competition ads and place their own. Very efficient if you ask me.
Recently I was reading about them using universal ad system so it can be used by various "partners."
Looks like now AOL has new Direct Revenue "marketing partner"
I hope they burn in AOHell

| Sue them for false advertisement
REally....one could argue that pushing a product called 'ABetterInternet' could be false advertisement, because how can they prove that what they do is considered better by the average user? How can they prove that what they do makes the Internet better? I could see them getting taken to court to explain that one. |

Re: Plague of the Internet?
They also happen to be New York state based. That means
Direct Revenue could become a likely target of a class-
action lawsuit by Attorney General Elliot Spitzer, who is
already filed suit against at least another adware company.
So be sure to file all your complaints against this company
with his office. The sooner they can get put out of business,
the better. They are second only to Cool Web Search, IMO, in
being the worst scourge of the Internet.

| I Can't Believe It
After having my own experience trying to remove it from my computer (which ended in me formatting my C drive), I can't believe anyone would trust this company. What gives them the right to create a program that evades removal? I was so pissed that night I wanted to shoot the people who created this crap.

| I was able to eventually remove it. The trick was the internet explorer browser helper object that was installed that was kindly reinfecting my machine everytime you started IE. You know, the one that none of my spyware scanners noticed. Once that was killed I was able to scan through and eliminate the rest, but ouch was it ugly. |

| I spent my weekend on this one
I just got this one. I decided I was going to reload Windows a few days ago and wanted to make the perfect back up so next time I reloaded it would be a simple image. I installed all my favourite apps and promised myself I would spend three days using just the OS and apps, no games or non-essentials to get my settings exactly where I want them to be. After all that work, downloaded a file, and without realizing it opened "A better Internet." Three days hard work down the drain. Trend Micro, Norton, MS Antispyware, Spybot and Adaware all removed parts, but not all. I finally just deleted Nail.exe and replaced it with a Read only encrypted text file "Nail.exe" so it cannot overwrite it. Finally seems ok.
I was pissed |

These guys ARE scum !! I had a run in with it . No matter what I did I couldn't get rid of it . In desperation I did a Google search for anything on how to uninstall it. Beleive it or not all threads lead back to Aurora's web site . With MUCH hesitation I downloaded their uninstall tool located on their web page. So far it worked . But make damn sure you turn off your system restore before you try it. This will clear all old restores and when you restart system restore you'll have a clean slate to go back to. |
