So my father's notebook has been infected with SpyAxe, a horrible malware program that flashes a little note in your system tray saying "you've been infected, click here to remove malicious spyware" or something like that. It's a trick -- you have to buy their product to get rid of it. I've tried all kinds of routines and programs but nothing's worked. This one website listed all the registries, .dlls, and .exes I needed to remove but we didn't have any of them. Anyone care to help us out?
Edit 1) Save Uninstallers.zip from ยปwww.spyaxe.com/uninstall/uninstallers.zip to your desktop. 2) Extract 2 files "illegal_adv_uninstall1.exe" and "illegal_adv_uninstall2.exe" to your desktop using WinZip. 3) Double-click one file, then the next (nothing visible will happen. (these files ARE clean BTW) 4) Reboot your PC 5) For myself, I had to go to add/remove programs & uninstall spyaxe. 6) Search for svchosts.dll & delete it. (NOTE: DO NOT confuse this with svchost.exe!!!!) 7) You should now be virus free!
Yeah SpySheriff is the same story, I got infected with that recently. An absolute bitch to get rid of.
my roommate had this...and he still can't get rid of it. i'll send him this. ty and thanks for the beware.
