| I'm trying to clean a PC that has some of the Spyaxe symptoms. I have the red
| X in the systray that states windows has detected the PC is infected with
| spyware. Click here to download the latest updates. When you click the red X
| or anywhere in the box the message disappears but then comes back. When I go
| online I get multiple pop ups and NAV starts scanning dozens of emails that
| are being sent from Outlook Express but not by me. NAV 2005, Adaware SE and
| Spybot SD find nothing not even in safe mode.
| Thanks in advance...
Two part reply..
Perform Part 1 then perform Part 2.
It is suggested that you execute each tool in Normal Mode then in Safe Mode.
If you are using any version of Sun Java that is prior to JRE Version 5.0, then
you are are strongly urged to remove any/all versions that are prior to JRE
Version 5.0. There are vulnerabilities in them and they are actively being exploited.
It is possible that is how you got infected with malware.
Therefore, it is highly suggested that if there are any prior versions of Sun Java
to Version 5 on the PC that they be removed and Sun Java JRE Version 5.0 Update 6
be installed ASAP.
