Default Spyware

I have Windows XP Home. I am a computer beginner. Recently an unwanted
program has been repeatedly installing itself on my computer. It is "SpyAxe"
an antivirus and antispyware program (would you believe!). Both my Microsoft
antispyware and also my Spybot recognise this as a high level spyware and
they will always remove it except for the icon on the toolbar.
Unfortunately SpyAxe continues to re-install itself.
Can anyone please advise how to get rid of the toolbar icon and also how to
get rid of the program for good.

The link above will take you to a removal tool. Google returned 102,000

Thank you Julie and guest user. Julie's "AntiPuper" seemed to be the answer
for me in only a few minutes. This after a day and a half of trial and
error. I followed up with a Spybot search that destroyed some remnants.
Also the toolbar icon has disappeared.
Many thanks.

I got hit with Spyaxe and its Trojan cohort 2 days ago.I tried manual and
other removals to no avail.Finally tried this:
http://www.infopackets.com/channels/...structions.htm

It involved a few Demo downloads of Spyware and Malware scanning programs
but it cured my PC with WinXP running.Follow the directions closely.
Been running smoothely and all the System32 registeries are clean now of
Spyaxe foolishness.All needs links to demo programs are included also on
that site.

Hope this helps
WKR

And here lies the problem - PCBUTTS1, hiding as Julie, is being thanked
for providing a fix using a tool that PCBUTTS1 didn't create.

The author of the tool is never given credit for the work they've done,
never thanked, and people go on ignorantly thinking that PCBUTTS1
morphed as who-knows-what is the one that actually fixed the problem.

The real author of the FIX and SOLUTION can be found here:

The solution was already presented by others, there was no need to add
anything, it would have been redundant.

Yes, it's not a She, it's PCBUTTS1 morphing as usual, since his posts
are being deleted from the MS Usenet Servers because of his actions and
ethics.

Those people have permission to host the files or are the owners of the
files/works in question - PCBUTTS1 (Chris) has never created anything
and has been asked to STOP hosting vendors files by the vendors.

You are entitled to your "opinion".
