hey i have the same problem. I managed to remove all the SpywareStriker and the pop-up in the right hand corner but now whenever i open an internet browser, instead of opening my homepage (optusnet) it opens a Security Centre thing telling me my copmy is being controlled by some random IP and shows all these Spyware/Malware stuff to dload and use to fight it. Of course theSpyware/Malware stuff doesnt work because i have to buy it.... Anyone know how to restore my browser?? the url it now re-directs to is www.uptodatesecurity.com

HI there, I have a problem where by I have managed to remove the popups and the warning message and used kill box to remove netwrap.dll. But everytime I start up my outlook express and microsoft word, spyware strike tries to reinstall itself. I have also deleted all the affected files using the manual removal steps and removed the program with spydoctor, but with no luck.
Any suggestions

I can confirm that netwrap has been renamed to wiatwain.dll. I just removed the flashing icon from my tray by renaming this file. Restarting windows and deleting.
Seems to have been the final thing to remove my infection

I found a great tool for removing the spywarestrike program. It is SMITREM.EXE,
a small but simple program that worked in about two minutes after I spend 3 days trying with other things.
Good Luck

I am also pissed i got hit with this thing, however it appears as though i was able to defeat it by following ALL of the manual instructions below. This included deleting the SpywareStrike Folder from Programs Files as well as both of the registry keys that were mentioned. Those keys existed in numerous places in the registry so you have to F3 or Find Next through the registry to make sure you find them all. I also had to boot in SAFE Mode with Command Prompt to delete the nasty nvctrl.exe, netwrap.dll and mssearch.net files from the system32 directory, as i was unable to kill the processes from Task Manager, they simply kept restarting. In addition, I also deleted one other file called mscornet.exe, which was timestamped the same as the others in the same dir.
One thing I did NOT do was use Add/Remove Programs to remove the Spyware Strike Program as i read earlier that all that does is reinstall the parasite - has that been confirmed true??
I also wanted to send out Special Thanks to everyone who conrtibuted below.

I used Ewido to remove spywarestrike. http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
91. by Guest. 2006-01-09 17:01:55
I also found in all the junk it downloaded was a registry key concerning the HP[X].tmp file....e0103cd4-d1ce-411a-b75b-4fec072867f4..this was found in several places so I did a search (using e0103cd4 for the parameters of the search) and had to F3 while in the registry search box through the whole registry for it WILL be found in many places.

to remove the flashing icon boot in safe mode (press F8 before window starts) then go to C:\ documents and settings\username\start menu\programs
Here you will see a folder called spywarestrike. Delete that and all the shortcuts within in.
Incidently the path to the startups may be different for different computers so you may have to find out where the automatic startups are for your comp. Best of luck...

Press F8, before Windows load screen appear.

SpywareStriker may not be the author of the virus.
After removing the files from my system (see notes -by Guest 07/01/2006.23.01.26-), I went to the SpywareStriker.com website and started to install the free download.
The demo version of spywarestriker install its files at -C:\Program Files\BulletProofSoft.com\BPS Spyware & Adware Remover-. Not the -C:\Program Files\SpywareStriker- folder we have all found with the virus.
I wonder if someone is trying to defame a company, or perhaps a company is trying to get some fame. Either way, it is unfortunate that so much time and energy is being wasted by people creating (and consequently) defending against virus.

All of you are great! Thanks so much for finding a way to get rid of this pesty program. Cheers!

My system only showed two processes mentioned in the posts. Both were named "SpywareStriker.exe". I did not find any "mssearchnet.exe" or "nvctrl.exe" processes running.
A "netwrap.dll" was found in the "windows\system32" folder. This file seemed to be directly related to the flashing icon in the tray. There was another file "ld4FE3.tmp", which had a time stamp close to that of the "netwrap.dll".
The folder existed in the "program files" folder just as the other posts said.
Many thanks for this website and everyone who took the time to comment here after all the hard work. Thank you very much.
