Why not try using Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox as your browser then? It might have to do with the browser itself. Also, you could try using Spybot Search & Destroy or Ad-Aware SE to find the popup if they weren't the spyware scanners you used.

You might also check out some first hand information about this particularly nasty spyware:

 

1. Aurora.Com

2. Aurora Process Information

3.  Also check this thread about this same spyware on Aluria Spyware Eliminator forums: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

 

According to these pages, the .exe file is usually named nail.exe and lurks around your Windows directory.

Obviosly Microsoft Anti-Spyware is not working for you, I would suggest installing others as well as keep microsoft Antispyware.

 

I would download and run these programs listed here:

Install, Update, Scan. Definatly do the free ones. After you run them once, reboot, run them again, Reboot (fingers crossed) the issues should be gone.
