Alright i decided to update my windows movie maker 2 with some new titles credits and effects. this was through microsoft.
the second after it was all downlaoded i got pop up after popup to buy there products. then i found new stuff on m desktop. i read the agreement, looked at the options, and nothing said anything about all this crap..

my computer started to slow dramatically. It starter closing out my radio. I couldnt even use the stupid program


thats what poped up on my desk top.

Now im getting pop ups saying. AUROA part of the ABI network. and other crap, im even getting highlights. like it highlights a word. kinda like our motorhaven does. but its not stop. it sucks.

im running ad-aware. im at 150k files, out of 250?

Update Ad-aware, restart in safe mode, run full system scan. Also get M$'s Spyware cleaner. Despite being M$ it seems to work pretty well. I have no experience with M$ loading crap along with their updates, I'd bet something else did it and just happened to be at the same time. Might be something that actually waits for an M$ download to pull something else in with it.

Start PC in Safe mode

Try this:To start the computer in safe mode
You should print these instructions before continuing. They will not be available after you shut your computer down in step 2.
Click Start, click Shut Down, and then, in the drop-down list, click Shut down.
In the Shut Down Windows dialog box, click Restart, and then click OK.
When you see the message Please select the operating system to start, press F8.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the appropriate safe mode option, and then press ENTER.
If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot system, choose the installation that you need to access using the arrow keys, and then press ENTER.
Notes

In safe mode, you have access to only basic files and drivers (mouse, monitor, keyboard, mass storage, base video, default system services, and no network connections). You can choose the Safe Mode with Networking option, which loads all of the above files and drivers and the essential services and drivers to start networking, or you can choose the Safe Mode with Command Prompt option, which is exactly the same as safe mode except that a command prompt is started instead of the graphical user interface. You can also choose Last Known Good Configuration, which starts your computer using the registry information that was saved at the last shutdown.
Safe mode helps you diagnose problems. If a symptom does not reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and minimum device drivers as possible causes. If a newly added device or a changed driver is causing problems, you can use safe mode to remove the device or reverse the change.
There are circumstances where safe mode will not be able to help you, such as when Windows system files that are required to start the system are corrupted or damaged. In this case, the Recovery Console may help you.
NUM LOCK must be off before the arrow keys on the numeric keypad will function.

Or you could just do system restore and Aurora (I think that's spyware) will be gone. I had it twice in the past, both times I did system restore and it fixed it.
