You should check that to make sure any remnants aren't left behind. After that, I think you are good to go.

 NyQuil Kid8f The Nyquil Kid join:2001-01-06 Brick, NJ | reply to CalamityJane No matter how many machines I clean, I am always amazed just how scummy the purveyors of this crap really are...a "anti-spyware" company that installs ad-aware (certainly seems like it in this case) - how pathetic.

 | reply to NyQuil Kid Hmmm... I didn't see that 'dll' in any of his log postings...Must have missed it somewhere.
Wonder if the 'Ole NyQuil Kid AVCD' would have caught that trojan? |

 NyQuil Kid8f The Nyquil Kid join:2001-01-06 Brick, NJ | Actually his original posting did not incorporate hidden/system files - the svchosts.dll was hidden...
Hehe - I certainly hope the AVCD would have found it - I have a copy of the dll and will test it on a VMWare install.

 | I had to do a system restore for SPYAXE same problems. It worked for now |
|
 | reply to madblue OK, I have the exact same spyaxe spyware crap on my computer as madblue. I read your info and was excited to see that he got his problem fixed. However, I cannot understand what you guys did to fix it. Can someone indicate what the solution turned out to be?
Thanks! |

»securityresponse.symantec.com/av···pav.html
And show all hidden and system files, then look for a file called svchosts.dll (either in C:\Windows or C:\Windows System32) - chances are that file is there and in use. I would recommend you use a program called "KillBox" to delete the file, since it will be in use at the time.

 | I am having the same issue. I have been relentlessly working since last night reading forum after forum, and scanning with any "legit" well known spyware/virus scanner I've heard. This little balloon here, with the SpyAxe crap will not die. I read on Symantec's site that it injects itself into explorer.exe? If that's the case, why haven't any scans found it? Additionally, Ewido, HouseCall, Symantec, and ZoneAlarm a/v haven't found a lick of it. Thorough system scans reveal nothing anymore, save for cookies. The thing pops up in safe mode, as well. |
|
 | Okay, nevermind; now I made myself look like an idiot. I reread the instructions and figured out a bit I was confused about - all is well. Thanks! |

 | Easy Spyaxe solution Some people (not me LOL) had the courage to ask SPyAxe's customer service & they SAY that some third-party marketer has is responsible for this mess, not SpyAxe (sounds like a nice excuse, anyway-- I don't believe them). Anyway, they have a uninstall program to get rid of the problem, so here's the quick & easy solution 
1) Save Uninstallers.zip from »www.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! 
I just sent SpyAxe a really nasty e-mail telling them their reputation is being soiled by this illegal marketing ploy-- I don't give a damn who is responsible. I noticed just in the past few days on Google this problem keeps spreading. Looks like they just shot themselves in the foot. They deserve it.

Re: y windows show "Your Computer is infected" I haven't used Killbox, but I was able to get rid of the svchosts.dll on an XP PC by booting into "Safe Mode with command prompt", and running: del c:\windows\system32\svchosts.dll |
