Windows being hijacked by SpyAxe

A purported "antispyware" tool, is acting just like spyware, in the sense
that every time I log on, a message (designed to look like an official
windows message) pops up on the lower right hand toolbar, eventually
prompting me to download "spyaxe", and anti-spyware program. Since I already
have an anti-spyware program, I don't need this, but I can't make it stop.
Help!!!

Do a Google search for Spyaxe, it is the malware.

Hello,

You may wish to try Super Ad Blocker with SUPERAntiSpyware, it will remove
SpyAxe:

Super Ad Blocker | SUPERAntiSpyware offers several unique features such as
using a system level driver to delete detected items, so pests do not come
back once detected and cleaned.

Super Ad Blocker offers a fully functional 15-day trial. You can scan and
clean your computer and then remove Super Ad Blocker if you do not wish to
keep it. We do appreciate when users support our development efforts by
purchasing the product :)

If that does not find and/or remove the spyware/adware on your machine, you
can submit a diagnostic and I will diagnose your machine for free and post
the results back to the group and update our rules with anything found:
