------------
We have received numerous reports from customers and users about the ever increasing problem
of SpyAxe.
SpyAxe is an Anti-Spyware application which is currently known to be installed without user consent.
Users can be misled by a fake 'Windows Update' message generated by a trojan, claiming that "Your computer is infected" and advising you to click a link to install SpyAxe.
Du to the increase in complaints and variants in the last few days we are releasing a rapid response update to address this problem.
You may update your Ad-Aware application by using the webupdate feature, or by downloading the definition file from http://www.lavasoft.com/support/download/
I'm not ignorant, I just need more learning!
