Aurora - The Dawn of a New Advertising Day

Noticed a lot of popups on your computer lately? It's possible Aurora is installed on your system, and this new dawn will only create the headache of more advertisements for you.

What is Aurora?

Aurora is an adware program created by ABI Network that watches your online movements, sends you advertisements, and keeps data about the kinds of sites you visit. Aurora is also called Adware.BetterInternet.

What Might I Notice With Aurora?

If you do have Aurora on your system, you'll notice a few changes. One of the first changes you are likely to notice is a serious increase in popup advertisements while you are online. Aurora pays attention to the keywords embedded in the pages you read. It uploads those keywords to its home server, and you are sent ads that are associated with those or general advertisements from affiliates. For example, if you are reading an article about purchasing homes, you may be sent an advertisement for lowering mortgage rates. If none of the standard Aurora keywords are present in the page you are reading, you may just be sent a random advertisement. Remember that not all of these advertisements are family friendly, so if you have minors who use your computer on a regular basis, it's best to remove Aurora before they use the machine again.

Another thing you might notice if Aurora is installed on your machine is slower computer performance. Aurora eats up much of your system's virtual memory. This means that your computer doesn't have as much room to process the programs you want to run. As a result, everything you try to do with your computer will take several minutes instead of the few seconds it should take.

What's The Risk With Aurora?

The biggest concern with Aurora is your privacy. Programs like Aurora watch your every move when you're online, so they have access to information that should be kept private. Because they seem to have open access to your internet connection, it is certainly possible that they could choose to transmit that information whenever they wish.

How Did I Get Aurora?

There are a couple of ways you could have gotten Aurora on your system. The most likely way is that it came attached to your last download. Many freeware and shareware programs allow programs like Aurora to attach themselves to downloads to help pay for the software itself. The other possibility is that Aurora actually came built-in to the last program you downloaded. In this case, it probably wasn't disclosed to your properly.

Aurora Removal

If you do have Aurora, it is important that you remove it as soon as possible from your system. You have three possible options to remove Aurora. Your first option is to try to run a system restore or to boot to your computer's last known good settings. This, however, doesn't work for all versions of Windows, and it only works right after Aurora is installed on your system. If it took you a few weeks to notice the problem, this probably isnt' the Aurora removal method for you.

Another option is to use your current antispyware product to remove Aurora from your system. If you don't have an antispyware product on your machine, it's certainly time to get one. Beware of the fact that lots of antispyware products online are adware, though, so it's important to choose a well reviewed product. ParetoLogic is a great one. Simply keep it updated and scan your system at least once a week. It will not only remove Aurora, it will also keep your system safe from any other serious threats.

Your final Aurora removal option is to manually delete each program file and registry entry from your computer. This is a time consuming process, but it is well worth the effort. A list of program files and registry entries follows this article. Keep in mind, though, that working within your computer's registry is a bit dangerous, so if you've never done it before, now really isn't a good time to start. A single mistaken keystroke could seriously damage your computer. If you insist, at least have a professional by your side as you work your way through it the first time.

Aurora is a threat to your system. Aurora removal is essential for a healthy computer system.
