SpyAxe

After battling this pest for the last day, I found that I could remove everything but the "annoying popup". After scouring my System32 folder, I found ioctrl.dll had recently been installed. I researched the filename and found reference to a potential audio file. I removed the dll with HijackThis and the popup is gone.

Hope this helps, my fingers and toes are crossed.....

What popups are your getting?

 

I was getting the "Your computer is infected!" popup which would bring you to the SpyAxe site and start downloading their software. The only way I could stop that was to remove the dll that I originally posted.

My intention was just informational. I was able to remove the infection minus the popup with help from previous threads on this site. Thanks for your responses.....

 

Oh, OK. Glad you got it with the assistance of our threads. Safe Surfing.
