how the fuck do you get "spyaxe" spyware off the computer.
It is driving me crazy with taskbar popup balloons......
anyone know?
I may need to hike up to the top of the mountain today to let off all the steam this annoying little program has caused
any help would be appreciated
Have you tried running Spybot Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware? Those two usually do the job for me when it comes to spyware. Google both up and download. Spybot has its own site with free downloads, and I think I found Ad-Aware on cnet.com or download.com.
... And, I guess, Tech Talk?
I think Tech Talk is for hard goods not software....just my .02Quote:

If the original trojan still persists on your system, you can use this to clean it:

You want advice? My advice is always to go for der Poopenhausen.

ccleaner seems to do a good job as well when used in combo with ad-aware.

Spybot says that when accessing cccleaner's website, it tries to download Avenue A, Inc., a known threat, to my computer.Quote:

That's no good. If I remember correctly, Likwid is the resident expert in all things spyware related.

2- Ski down.
Works well, especially in conjunction with Spy-bot and Ad-aware:

I found that running more than one program is absolutely necessary. Why can't one program find them all? Oh, ditto on the switching to Firefox thing.
rule number one: shoot the hostage.
everyone knows that.
