| While on the legal side of this...
I'm not normally one to throw gas on an already burning fire but...
Isn't the name "Aurora" a trademark of Bioware?
(It's the trademarked name for the engine used in many of their games)
I wouldn't imagin Bioware would be thrilled to see it's trademarked name associated with press of this nature... |

| One would think they would terminate your right to use the software (by removing it) but even though you broke the rules set in EULA they will try to reinstall/repair software. Does not make any sense does it?
Also if this here is true:
"...MyPCTuneUp will leave behind a unique identifier on your computer for the sole purpose of notifying ABI that you no longer want the Software to operate on your computer...."
If that software has been removed completely why would ABI (abetterinternet) ever 'reconnect' to my computer to check and how if the software has been removed?
Also I think they *sell* MyPCTuneUp  |

Trend has started detecting the trojan re-installer at least as of last Friday. So thus far I haven't encountered the junk since then.
I've run across 3 machines in the past week here at work that have been infected with this junk. The uninstall tool they provide doesn't really work, even after using it on a couple of machines it was still able to re-spawn itself the next time IE was opened. Along with Nail.exe it will also create a couple of randomly named .exe files and dump them in a variety of locations in the c:\windows folder. How they can call this "legitimate" activity is certainly beyond my comprehension. Most sane people clearly would identify this as activity consistent with that of a virus.
Not surprisingly the first PC I encountered the EU probably had installed the "free" programs (a pop up blocker and a supposed "spyware" scanner) on her PC that resulted in the infection. On the 2nd and 3rd systems I couldn't find any trace of any games, screensavers, backgrounds, etc., that are the usual culprits behind most of this crap. |
