Thanks old rebel , will look into trying, but would appreciate others input as well. just not very computer literate. That hijack this prgram really did me in I think. P.S. Go gamecocks.

 

try running ewido in safe mode.

as for hijackthis, have u posted teh results at SpywareInfo forums or security forum that does logs?

 

If'm afraid I can't tell from your post what steps you have already taken. Did you follow the steps at CastleCops for SpyAxe? They also have a HijackThis forum that will help you. And running Ewido in Safe Mode is important. Keep us posted of your progress. Run your anti-virus as well. The Vundo instructions are only if the SpyAxe removal does not clear it up.

Any good HijackThis forum can help you clean up what if left after you do what you can. Do not attempt to use HijackThis by yourself.
And yes, Go Gamecocks!

 

Yes ran ewido in safe mode 3 infected files plus 3 cleaned files and removed several from the quaratine. still on start up ewido reports spy axe. no change in desktop, will try castlecops . are spy sheriff and spyaxe the same maybe the desktop all white and blocked is spy axe, not spy sheriff.

 

ive had to clean a comp with spy sheriff before...try running ewido in regualr Windows. also make sure to run it from all user accounts if necessary.

 

Regarding Spysheriff problem; You guys rock, thanks old rebel. castlecops did the trick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
