"Possible reason, firewall/anti virus software blocking SMSS.exe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulscoconutass Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 While it's here, has anyone else been bothered with some pop up prrgram thing called 'Aurora'? It's coming up every time i'm looking through most sites other than Ab-Mu. I've ran As-Aware and such and checked the add/remove programs bit but no cigar.

spellchecker Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 not entirely related, but a tool i use a lot when fixing friends and relatives computers is HijackThis:http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/Gets rid of loads of spyware, but you run it as a one-off, it's not like a taskbar app. gets rid of all those annoying toolbars, .ocx's and stuff that fluff up your windows computer.

Stripey Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 the best thing to do is reinstall windows, or if that is too complex for you, buy a new pc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
