 SpyAxe
SpyAxe reviewSpyAxe is a simple, fast and user-friendly spyware remover developed by the same named company. It was carefully tested on several computers including already infected systems as well as absolutely clean PCs. The application passed all our tests and produced sufficiently good results.SpyAxe checks the Windows registry, running processes, cookies and entire file system. The user can choose between two scan modes - Quick Scan and Full System Scan. Both are really fast and effective enough. Full System Scan is configurable. The user can tell the program to scan absolutely all local files and folders or check only specified locations. During our tests SpyAxe detected nearly all preinstalled spyware and adware parasites and quite precisely recognized them. It provided the exact location of each critical object and name of a parasite it belong to. Despite the fact that reputable anti-spyware tools, such as Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta and Spyware Doctor detected a much more larger number of malicious files and registry entries than SpyAxe, we think that the application showed good performance. Its pest detection and removal approach is competent enough to protect the system and user privacy. SpyAxe uses regularly updated spyware definitions database. Currently it consists of more than 34,000 signatures. The application does not have any additional tools. It includes only the most common functions like Quarantine and Ignore List. Full registered version should come with a complimentary pop-up blocker, task and startup managers. The program's interface is clean and convenient. Free unregistered version of SpyAxe refuses to remove any dangerous objects it finds. It asks to register and purcahse full product. The official web site is www.spyaxe.com. UPDATE 04/11/2005 2-Spyware.com research center took a decision to move SpyAxe into the Corrupt anti-spyware category because of deceptive and aggressive advertising issues related with its name. The program was initially classified as a reliable anti-spyware, but unfortunately its vendor and/or affiliates began to use aggressive advertising methods in order to promote SpyAxe. We received numerous user reports and complaints stating that their computers are infected with a particular trojan that displays fake warning messages saying "Your computer is infected!" and asking to download and purchase SpyAxe. These messages contain links leading to the official web site of SpyAxe. Although we do not know who is actually responsible for these issues (the program's vendor denies all charges), you shouldn't buy SpyAxe until the situation will turn out.

hey, i have a custom blocking list for SpywareBlaster that prevents spyaxe and spywarestrike from loading :P
too many of my good customers get this $hit so use the software that prevents it in the first place right.
Thank You Javacool Software for such a good product, especially the custom blocking feature

Report your SpyAxe story to the FTC at www.fbi.gov. Unfortunately, the culprits are probably in another country which means that there is nothing our government can do about it. Still, worth a shot. Also, submit some contact inforamtion to suespyaxe.blogpot.com so that a class action lawsuit can be launched once we find the responible party.

I had SpyAxe, got rid of it, now I have it again under a slightly different name - SpywareStrike. I read that getting rid of the first allows the second one to load. This is ridiculous - Microsoft needs to issue a fix for this, and those BA$TARDS at SpyAxe need to go to jail.

SUE EVIL SPYAXE!!! Stop complaining and start taking action!!! We must report to the FTC and file a class action suit against anyone we can prove to be responsible for these obvious illegal actions. These people are criminals and should be stripped of their profits and thrown in prison.

If anyone finds out the name and address of the company or person who publishes SpyAxe, please post it. I am attorney interested in pursuing a class action against them.
9. by Guest. 2005-12-30 23:12:09
is there software that is free to download and is it free to kill this bastard
10. by Guest. 2005-12-30 22:12:28
Took over my computer! WinXP Pro/AMD2200. Its downloaded itself through my firewall and was recognized as a trojan virus- BEWARE!!! Spyaxe is VERY malicious! I understand it loads spyware onto your computer so it can delete it, making it look useful. I hope noone else has to go through what I had to, to delete it.
11. by Guest. 2005-12-30 18:12:02
Does anyone know the phone number or address for this company?
12. by Guest. 2005-12-30 10:12:58
Texas can track down and sue Sony, but the SpyAxe folks walk free. Someone needs to do something about these jerks.
13. by Guest. 2005-12-29 11:12:09
Have clients calling all the time about this tool showing up on their computer without their authorization. How is this legal?
14. by Guest. 2005-12-28 23:12:47
Yup would sure be nice if the company and everyone who worked at it lost everything they own. I would sure like to run into the people of this company living in a cardboard box under a bridge somewhere. That would sure make me feel good.
15. by Guest. 2005-12-28 21:12:06
smitrem.exe works.
16. by Guest. 2005-12-28 19:12:28
Spy Axe should be help responsible for their corrupt behavior and taken down.
17. by Guest. 2005-12-26 16:12:02
SpyAxe should be sued. Get those Anti-Spam laws at work and sue the bastards.
18. by Guest. 2005-12-20 19:12:46
USE SYSTEM RESTORE TO GET RID OF ALL THE PROBLEMS.
19. by Guest. 2005-12-18 09:12:25
Search for and download "smitrem.exe" Really works. Saved me after 2 weeks of trying everything else to get rid of spyaxe
20. by Guest. 2005-12-17 20:12:23

23. by Guest. 2005-12-08 07:12:09
Easy way to get rid of this sucker is to, system restore prior to getting infected with SPYAXE or you can manually restart in safemode and delete the files mscornet.exe, mssearchnet.exe, nvctrl.exe, svchost.dll in the c:\WINDOWS\system32\ dont forget to delete directories c:\Program Files\SpyAxe and c:\Windows\system\1024 and c:\windows\system32\1024 and c:\winnt\system32\1024 hope that helps someone out there! and remember NEVER buy products from spyaxe
24. by Guest. 2005-12-07 15:12:28
They are right - SpyAxe IS a virus. It installed itself on my friends computer without his permission, and now the spyware is so bad, it constantly disables the internet connection. There are so many pop-ups, it makes the computer virtually unusable. This, despite the constant scanning with both Ad-Aware and Spybot to try to get rid of it. These people need to be put out of business.
(And should reimburse people for expenses entailed in backing up and reformatting the hard drive.)
25. by Guest. 2005-12-05 06:12:38
This thing was installed on my computer without my knowledge. I is a total piece of garbage. I wrote the company and of course, no response! It had to be underlayed in pages, because I never agreed to anything with this company. It took over 3 hours to rid my self of this piece of junk! BEWARE!!
26. by Guest. 2005-11-28 08:11:54
Pavel, Czech Republic / EU: SpAxe is in my computer. I have the new one (no important data loaded), so I will format my disc.It is the only way to kill SpyAxe!
27. by Guest. 2005-11-17 05:11:16
anyone knows how to remove the spyaxe software.
28. by Guest. 2005-11-16 14:11:17
SpyAxe is not a solution to the problem. SpyAxe IS the problem.
29. by Guest. 2005-11-15 16:11:47

30. by Guest. 2005-11-13 23:11:48
can someone please post how to get rid of this stupid piece of crap i have scaned and scaned but still wont go away.
31. by Guest. 2005-11-13 11:11:35
I too have been infected by spyaxe how do I get rid of it? A company that uses the same tactic to sell its product as it claims to prevent is not a company that I will do business with.
32. by Guest. 2005-11-11 18:11:57
SpyAxe infected my PC, took me 5 hours to remove the thing.
Got it when inadvertently answering yes to downloadload a codec.
Somebody should take the a....oles to court!
33. by Guest. 2005-11-11 12:11:01
DO NOT BUY spyAxe ... they stated using malicious adware around 8 Nov 2005.
34. by Guest. 2005-11-11 03:11:59

35. by Guest. 2005-11-10 20:11:00

36. by Guest. 2005-11-10 19:11:03

37. by Guest. 2005-11-09 16:11:40
