Thompson 0 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 For christ sake sombody help is, this is driving me fucking bananas. Theres a speech bubble which keeps coming up in the system tray from a white red x in a red circle saying 'Your computer is infected blah dee blah', it's posing as a legitimate windows warning but whenever i click the x at the top, 2 seconds later the little cunt pops up again. I've tried running adawar and microsoft antispyware but nowt has cleared it. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thompson 0 Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 Ad-aware. After Google a google search, i've found that its a trojan created by a company called 'spy axe' so you have to buy their product to remove it. The fucking bastards.

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Spybot Ad-Aware Download and install these two programs. Run them more than once because its not unknown for the to miss something first time. If that doesn't work *whispers* nip over to N-O and ask Andy or StevieH84 what to do next, they're really good at sorting out this sort of thing.

peasepud 59 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Wahey, i finally found a program to remove it. Found it on some obscure techy forum! Now i have the problem that my homepage gets re-directed...How do a change that? 63990[/snapback] Depends on where it gets redirected to. Theres a few "search" portals out there that do this kind of shit. Usually its best to let the page load and then take a hunt through the site for FAQs etc. Somewhere hidden behind the "buy videos of men bucking llamas" and ads for penis enlargement (dont bother they dont work, cost a fortune and arent dishwasher safe no matter what the ad says... ) will be a little tiny bit saying "if you want to uninstall click here" or summit like that.
