I keep getting a popup for various products. It is all from the same Company or whatever. Aurora-Part of the ABI Network. I did a google of this and it seems to be a widepsread problem.
Ad-Aware doesn't get rid of it, Microsoft Anti-Spyware doesn't, Spybot doesn't get rid of it, Google pop up blocker etc........
How do I get rid of this.... :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I got my pop-up blocker from BestBuy, it blocks everything. Not home right now so I'm not sure which one it is. If you have a BestBuy check it out.

some of those can be a real beiotch to get rid of. the site where the pop ups originate from sometimes will have direction on how to remove it.. but it will be in very small print and hard to find. i had one awhile back and nothing would remove it.. not only was it a browser hijacker but a trojan dropper as well. i had to wipe it all out and start from scratch.
i will do some checking on the one you have and see if i can find something specific for you.

Try firefox browser by mozilla. Much like IE but better security.

If you're running windows xp you can do a system restore if you know approximately when the pop up started. That would be the easiest solution.

I have been using it for awhile, blocks almost all pop-ups.

go to microsoft.com and download the microsoft anti spyware program under downloads on their main screen... i had that same problem and it cut the pop ups down by 2/3

here's my .02, since you've already tried the better ones, this will not remove it, but will tell you where it is and give you instructions for manual removal out of your regedit follow the directions carefully, if you need help, give me a yell... http://www.download.com/Bazooka-Adware-and-Spyware-Scanner/3000-8022_4-10377953.html?tag=lst-0-1
