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. |

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 "Killian" <killian@nospam.com> wrote in message news:%23cQHPnODGHA.312@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl... >I have Windows XP Home. I am a computer beginner.
