I have all security settings in place: ie: pop ups blocked, cookies blocked. I
am being bombarded with popups just recently. The offenses hit me whenever and
where ever surfing. The offending program is 'Aurora'. I am sure you've heard of
this before. I have seen many blogs with posts a mile long about this particular
spyware. I have run several spyware programs to eliminate it from my system to
no  avail.  Please tell me that there is a light at the end of the tunnel! Thanks! 

Reproducible: Always

Bugzilla is not a support forum. Unless it's Firefox which is responsible for
installing the spyware, this is invalid.
