Acutally I did that before posting here, and it didn't seem to kill it. Maybe I was doing it wrong. I went to regedit and deleted teh aurora folder; maybe that will get rid of it

Unsubscribe does not work. Downloading an .exe from some site where they do not even list any contact info is perilous. BOYCOTT ALL THE COMPANIES WHO ARE USING THIS INTRUSIVE METHOD TO GET ON OUR SYSTEMS!
