Hello, New to this website. Please help.

I have a Security toolbar in windows, and it often takes me to spyAxe. Have any of you see it. I keep getting a red-cross near the system time area of the toolbar, with a message saying "your computer is infected"

Please help.

Download killbox and follow the directions below.Killbox
Open KillBox. Then on killbox top bar press tools and then "Delete Temp Files" then "OK"

Then select the "Replace on Reboot" option.

Copy and Paste this entry to the "Full Path of File to Delete" box:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchosts.dll

When you select "Replace on Reboot", the "Use Dummy" option will highlight.
Click the "Use Dummy" option (Click "Use Dummy" for the following files also).

Click the red circle with the white X.
When the confirmation message appears, you will need to click Yes.

A second message will ask to Reboot now? You will need to click No.

Then Copy and past this entry to the "Full Path of File to Delete" box:

C:\Windows\System32\spyaxe.exe

Again, click the red circle with the white X.
When the confirmation message appears, you will need to click Yes.

On the last file pasted, when asked to Reboot, click Yes

Before you click Yes, close this window and all windows and programs!

It is possible that Killbox will tell you that one or more files do not exist. If that happens, just continue on with all the files. Be sure you don't miss any.

Should this not work reboot into Safe Mode and follow the above procedure there.

I had SpyAxe, Trojan.Zlob & Security Toolbar (all part of the same virus) & got it all out of my system painlessly:

After I tried the KillBox method which may work but did not work for me, I Purchased on-line & installed Norton Antivirus 2006 product.

Then called their tech support & they e-mailed me for $30. a 6 page very simple & easy to follow instruction guide to removing it.

That did not fix for me - upgraded another $30. & had them walk me through the entire process - 20 - 30 minutes.

It is no quick easy fix getting this garbage out of your system - there were an unbelievable amount of files we had to remove from places you would never believe exist. This virus is resident in more than what is mentioned here & in tons of code that yould never know about.

Either way it was worth the $60. to have them get it all out quickly.

Good Luck To All & Merry Christmas !!!
