Re: Lavasoft Rapid Response to SpyAxe

said by trparky See Profile :

...Nothing in the Add/Remove Programs like a normal program should have an entry in, so I got to the point where I just told AdAware to remove all junk, it was gone when the removal was complete.
Are you sure it's all gone? Do the following files still remain:
mssearchnet.exe
nvctrl.exe

Reason I ask is because I've been hit with SpyAxe several times and I just can't ever seem to get rid of it all. I end up having to restore a known good partition image with Image for Windows.

If SpyAxe installs itself again on my machine I'll try Ad-Aware for removal, and I'll check to see that those two files disappear. If they don't, then I'll restore C:\ once again.

I don't know, like I said, when I was removing it, there wasn't much information out there on it. And the little there was was buried.

Got hit with SpyAxe again this evening so I tried Spybot - S&D (with latest updates) for removal. Nothing doing---pieces of SpyAxe remained, including the annoying little icon in systray with its constant click, click, click.

So I tried Ad-Aware (again, latest updates) and that didn't remove it either. Pieces of SpyAxe were all over the place including the icon from hell.

Popped in the Terabyte Image for Windows Boot CD and restored to a known good configuration. SpyAxe is gone.

Why aren't Spybot and Ad-Aware successful in removing SpyAxe?

Re: Lavasoft Rapid Response to SpyAxe

It seems to me you need to get some protection. Re-imaging is no fun if you have to do it on a daily basis.
