The only one I haven't heard of is IBIS Websearch/Wintools. As such my impressions is exactly the same as "Your Kung-fu is Not strong". Eg 1. CWS 11. Webbug 12. Tracking cookies 2-10 All others (are they all toolbars except for Newnet?). I see quite a few people ranked Aurora No 1, I wonder why. Very common ?

I am a HijackThis expert so I can't answer Eric's survey with an unslighted opinion. But as to your question about Aurora....I can. It is quite common, but more than that, it is the most hated I have seen from all of the victims I have helped. One of my first sightings of Aurora intrigued me to help the young man posting at another forum because the username he had signed up with was: IWishDeathUponDirectRevenue (Direct Revenue aka abetterinternet) Now who could not resist a piqued curiosity on what single malware could cause that much hate? (It was Aurora) Edit: To clarify DirectRevnue aka abetterinternet -- It takes a disaster to make a woman out of a female Gladiator Security Forum Proud Member of ASAP (Alliance of Security Analysis Professionals)
