okay, so my pc has been attacked by the Aurora spam / virus / pop-up annoyance thing. i get a lot of pop-ups that say "Aurora - part of the ABI Network". last week i accidentally "closed" a pop-up (i use firefox, so i shouldn't get these things in the first place!). when i closed the pop-up using the little "x", i didn't realize the "x" was part ( Read more... )

the best way to solve this is to find the nearest silo, take your computer to the top of it, and drop it so it smashes on the ground.

problem solved!

haha, thanks for the advice! sometimes i really would just like to throw my computer.. or just yell at it because i'm tired of using a dial-up internet connection (even though i technically should be yelling at my ISP.. it's just easier to take out my frustration on the computer in front of me).

a good program to clear your computer of that crap is lavasoft ad-aware. if you can't find it anywhere on the net i'll send it to you over aim.

when you get an ad, it usually works just to either right click on the ad in your bar and close it or close in ctrl+alt+del.

i actually have ad-aware, and i just recently checked for updates and performed the system scan. actually, i just did it earlier this evening, and i'm running ad-aware again.. and already 22 new objects have been found. i guess ad-aware is picking up most of the spam on my computer, but it's not totally wiping out aurora, so the spam keeps coming back.. ahhhhhhh. thanks for the tip though!

have you tried searching your add/remove lise for anything you don't know (or just anything that says it's straight up aurora?). sometimes they sneak that crap in there.

probly now very helpful, but worth a shot

yeah, i think you are correct in saying that i <3 lovedrug. i would say that i'm really jealous that you saw both of those bands... but the same show will be in cleveland this sunday, so i may be going to that.

hope everything in seattle is wonderful (i'm sure it is) :)
