constant pop up

[Guest]

From the icon bar on the bottom, I am constantly getting a pop up that "your
computer is infected". I have run my spy ware and it is clean. This pop
leads to an ad to buy "spyaxe".
How do I get it to stop?

The latest updates to Ad-aware are supposed to remove Spyaxe. Nick
Skrepetos, the author of SuperAdBlocker, says that his program will
remove Spyaxe also. Here are some other links with removal steps.

Use noahdfear's SmitFraud and SpyAxe removal tool.
