Anyone got lumbered with SpyAxe?

That nasty annoying little pop-up out of the task bar telling you you need to buy a spyware remover?

Just found a removal tool and winkled it out in 5 minutes.

Yay!

 

It'll be the same as my blasted Winfixer pop up......what did you use Windy?

 

Yeah

 My brother's been on the phone to me about this today. Seems its a nastly little Barsteward.</p>

I pointed him at the free version of this to get rid of it http://www.ewido.net/en/</p>

Spyaxe

 

thankyou ..

 

The Winfixer 2005 is a right bugger to get shut of.....2 hours and counting - no where near yet!!!

 

i got it and it kept returning because of the backup files made by my own computer and anti spyware programs.

but i do have a solution to completely rid the system of it if the bugger comes back again. and it actuallyt works...

p.s. it's not a hammer.

 

safe mode

mine would never go. put my pc into safe mode then ran norton anti-virus. totally gone now. bloody xp kept making backups

 

Doesn't remove it fully.

Leaves the root in there somewhere, so it comes back after every reboot. Does on mine anyway.

 

RE: Used this -

I'll try that then. Sodding computers.

 

Worked a treat for me mate.

Get into what's placed on your desktop and run everything.

 

Bingo.

I'm up and running again. Cheers mate.
