i have an aurora virus, hijacking my connection, anyone know what to do?
Does a popup appear with a question mark? If it does, click it and there should be a link to the removal tool. If it is not the "official aurora spyware" that you have on your system, I would go to the spywarewarrior website and download hijackthis. Then post the log on their forum to obtain a fix for your problem.

I'm doing research on aurora and would like to know where people are getting infected with it.
Do you have any idea how or where you got it?

The aurora topic is quite extensively covered on the Windows XP board, with quite a few ideas about where it came from and how to get rid of it (apart from using aurora's own uninstall tool, which may be a bit dodgy). One of the suggested methods of removal was very simple, but I couldn't get it to work and so resorted to a system restore, since when I don't seem to have any problem.
