Hi- I can't seem to remove the "instant access" dialer that has found it's
way onto my computer I think through a gaming software I downloaded and have since uninstalled. It won't remove either manually or through spyware removal programs. It seems to recycle itself automatically and though I don't believe it has actually been successful in dialing it's target, it has simply become an unwelcome nusiance popping up frequently. It also only shows itself when I'm using Netscape which is my default browser, which I've since uninstalled in an unsuccessful attempt at manually removing the dialer. Anyone? |

Is this the same as a problem i am experiencing, regarding an "internet
trojan" apparently infecting my system and described as "iworm_attck_v122.02a"? I find it hard to accept the pressure to subscribe something called "Spy Axe", to remove it, since my Norton Anti-virus programme [which is uptodate] claims that my computer is clean. -- gideon fennell "Philly T.

SpyAxe is scumware.
SpyAxe is a Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware Product. It uses desktop hijacking, aggressive/deceptive advertising; uses inadequate scan/detection scheme. Anti-spyware spread by spyware http://blogs.zdnet.com/Spyware/?p=702 -- Hope this helps. Let us know.
