SpywareQuake icon on system tray bottom right of screen

I have an icon from SpywareQuake only in my "system tray" the part by the clock that shows active programs. I DID NOT get all the software loaded onto my computer because I never have "opened" the alert window that says my computer was infected. I did however follow your instructions for the removal of SpywareQuake. I also checked for the files you said to kill, checked the registry for the files you said to delete, checked for the dll's and all the rest of the instructions. NO files mentioned in those instructions were found on my computer. I just can't get rid of the annoying pop up that tells me I'm infected. Any other suggestions? I have a Toshiba 1905-S301, 40gig HD, 1024 Ram and pentium4 processor at 2.0ghz. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Did the procedure last night. Didn't see info about log, but you know I'm new to this, so direct me to the procedure for doing the log. Thanks

 

I beleive the smitfiles.txt are attached. Let me know

 

I tried to delete xenadot.dll in both regular and safe mode. All I get is "Cannot Delete xenadot: Access is Denied. Any thing else I can do, the icon is still present. thanks

 

Sorry for the delay, attached find the runkeys.txt requested and I wait to hear from you with next suggestion. thanks

 

Thank you, I thought I had followed the procedure exactly as written, but I will try it once more and notify you of any problems or error messages.

 

Well, I guess that's why I'm a private E2. I reran according to your instruction and things went well. I must have missed a step the first time. In the rerun I found these things. 1. At Add/Remove programs, Spyware Quake was not found in currently installed programs. 2. Stickrep.dll and suprox.dll were not found. 3. After reboot, Stickrep.dll and suprox.dll were still not found. 4. C:\Program Files\Spyware Quake not found. 5. C:\Windows\System\1024 not found. 6. C:\Windows\system32\1024 not found. 7. C:\Documents and Settings........\Start Menu\programs\Spyware Quake not found. I also at this time noticed I DID NOT have the icon in my systray that was previously causing all the problems. I did however take it upon myself to look for the Xenadot.dll you asked me to delete last night. I found it in C:\Windows\System32 and deleted it with no problem (hope this was the thing to do). I have not attached the smitfiles.txt at this point since I seem to be OK, do you want them anyway? Thanks I will repost if this thing comes back for some reason and I can't remove it following your instructions I now have. Let me know if you would like me to do any more for you. Thanks Again

 

Just to recover one item, maybe because I missed a step last night, but last night when I found Xenadot.dll I could not delete it, access denied. Just wanted to restate that, it was probably my failure to correctly follow your instructions, Thanks again. I will now tackle Step 1 as you said to do.
