I don't know how I got this but there is some spy axe garbage on my internet. I read a little about it and there are no pop ups exept on iternet explores. I did a spyware-virus scan and it deleted some parts of it, but there is an issue of it being my hoempage on internet explorer. My home page is msn.com but when i tell it to do that, it goes back to yoursystemupdate.com . Is there a way to stop this from occuring and how?

My PC never crashes nor does it have bugs - it just develops random features at times.

I have Spy Sweeper and have been unable to remove Spy Axe. I was told on Dec 13th by the brother of someone who is a developer for Spy Sweeper that this is a really malicious adware that keeps mutating and hiding itself so that you can't find it in the registry. He said Spy Sweeper may have a fix later this week.

at first I have no clue how i got it. Does it spread through a trojan spy axe, or through a cookie because I have no clue how i got it in the first place.

HELP!! I have TRIED EVERYTHING -- Spy Axe continues to attempt to load onto my system, I continue to get casino and porn pop ups, and IE crashes ALOT now especially when Acrobat is run, and I cannot believe this is being allowed to continue. This also killed my Outlooklib.dll file. I cannot work!
