The following instructions have been created to help you to get rid of "Aureate" manually.
Use this guide at your own risk; software should usually be better suited to remove malware, since it is able to look deeper.

Please use Windows Explorer or another file manager of your choice to locate and delete these files.
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\advert.dll".
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\amcis.dll".
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\anadsc.ocx".
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\anadscb.ocx".

You will have to use a global search for files without a name specified. Be extra careful, because just the name might not be enough to identify files!
