Spy Ax

[Guest]

I got a popup balloon in my system tray that won't go away. It reads as
follows:

Windows has detected spyware infection.
It is recommended to use special antispyware tools to prevent data loss.
Windows will now download and install the most up-to-date antispyware for you.
Click here to protect your computer from spyware.

When you click on the balloon it takes you to a web site for Spy Ax
software. The software then loads itself on your computer and starts to scan
it. The scan only takes a few seconds then reports several incidents, however
it will not let you clear any of these incidents with out purchasing the
software. The whole thing seamed wrong to me so I ran the antispy ware
software I already had (webroot sweeper). This took 30 minutes to scan and
reported several problems and cleared them out. One of these problems was a
piece of software that told XP it was infected with spyware. I can only
assume I have been hosed. I know I am not infected but I can not get this
balloon to clear off my computer. And I am not about to send Spy Ax $50 to
clear it for me. Does anyone have a clue how I can clear this balloon.

Hi Scott

Run SpyAxeFix as it will search for the Program Files\SpyAxe directory, and
the uninstaller within that directory. If its present, it will start the
uninstaller. When the uninstaller completes, SpyAxeFix will search for and
delete the SpyAxe directory, system32\svchosts.dll and the system32\1024
directory,

Download SpyAxeFix.exe

Save it to your desktop. Close all other programs and windows. Double click
SpyAxeFix.exe, then click Start to extract the tool to it's own folder. Open
the SpyAxeFix folder and double click the SpyAxeFix.bat to start the tool. At
one point when the tool runs, your taskbar will dissappear, and your computer
will restart when the tool completes. A text file named spyaxe.txt will be
created in the SpyAxeFix folder .

SpyAx/Spy trooper is not just a Virus! Financial reports indicate that it's
really a credit card phishing scam. If anyone "purchases" this product, they
should immediately contact their financial institution to report the fraud.

Pass the word, please!
