I will keep you posted
Thank you for your efforts! Appreciate it

Was wondering why we're seeing so many new victims of this. Any idea what exploit they are using (or other method of install) so we can warn folks how to prevent it?

There are alot being installed by variants of Trojan.Downloader.Zlob.. people should keep there eye out for svchosts.dll / svchost.dll especially... the method of choice for SpyAxe install is a fraudlent Windows Update icon in the tray, popping a bubble saying "Your computer is infected with spyware, click here to install the latest anti-spyware"... or something of that nature....
