Click on start Menu, then click on RUN. \nType regedit and then hit enter. \nThis will bring up your registration keys. \nYou will need to find the directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and then click on Software to see all the programs on your computer. \nDelete the program that you want to clean out from your system from this directory and you will delete it permanently from your machine.\n\nAlso do a search on your computer for spy hawk or whatever just SPY and delete those too.

This one was a real pain to get rid of when my wife ran across it. The article I'm linking to at the bottom was a big help.\n\nYou will need to download the files they recommend, reboot in safe mode, run their tools and possibly (as I had to do) delete several dll's by hand (or rename them if you can't delete) then run ad-aware, spybot, windows startup inspector reboot in normal mode and run an online virus scanner (such as pandsoftware.com).\n\nVery frustrating but I think that just about did it.\n\nGood luck.

That is spyware itself!  Do NOT buy that software...it's a scam!  Here is a tutorial to remove stuff like this:\nhttp://www.5starsupport.com/tutorial/spywarequake.htm

Check to make sure it's still on your computer.  Go to start, control panel, then add/remove programs.  Is it on the list of programs?  If not, you may have to reinstall it.  Have you tried restarting your computer?  Try that first.

Does it advertise a particular spyware program?\n\nLike spywarequake or falcon?\n\nAs these are actually the spyware, which has got on your computer via a trojan.  Give me some more info and i can probably find you the exact fix.\n\nI got one yesterday that norton or any adaware program couldn't pick up, and I had to manually uninstall it.\n\nOtherwise, as said, look up the item using a search engine, incl. the word remove...\n\nYou should be able to access regedit, by going to Start Menu, Run.  Then type regedit & press enter.  (as long as your using the full access account (administrator).  If you can't reboot into safe mode & try again.\n\nIf you don't know exactly where to go & what to change, then don't go into regedit, you won't get there by looking!\n\nThe fix should follow the following steps:\n\nRename bad dll's in the system32 folder\nReboot into safe mode\nRemove any program from the add/remove programs option.\nRemove the bad dll's you renamed.\nRun a registry fix (pre-made for you)\nRun a trojan killer\nReboot into a clean machine.\n\nBut until we know the name of the virus/spyware, I can;'t give an exact fix.

Batman, now u really gotta believe me, i have a trojan attack before, called SpyAxe, its really irritating, i cant remove it through the "Add/Remove" program on my computer. everytime i reboot, the SpyAxe comes back again. TRUST ME, DO NOT use another program, like the other answerers here said, to delete it. delete it manually, even if it takes a lot of time, like having to reboot to safemode n all that. yes it does work for some of these anti-spyware programs, BUT why am i stopping you, why? coz SpyAxe actually claims to be such an anti-spyware program, but it actually attached a trojan horse virus with it, that causes SpyAxe to appear each time we reboot our com. some pple couldnt stand it n decided to pay SpyAxe to remove the trojan. its all a scam from Spyaxe. to know more abt this spyaxe, u can search in Yahoo. i also found out how to remove the trojan manually through a search done in Yahoo, which brought me to a forum page(pls click on link below) where many others also caught this SpyAxe problem. the forum also states many other computer problems.\n\nin the 1st place, the reason i chose to delete this SPyAxe manually is becoz i needed to pay the other programs to delete the trojan. its really ridiculous rite? n u know what, wad i'm gonna say next is true, i read this from the forum page submitted by real pple.. this guy actually couldn't stand seeing the Spyaxe after rebooting his com everytime, so he download another anti-spyware program to get rid of the trojan, since he knows that SpyAxe is the one who actually attached the trojan with itself so pple who click on SpyAxe's advertisement n scan their PCs for free will get the trojan infection(whereby the scan results will show that u haf many viruses on your PC, which is not true). then they will ask u to download SpyAxe(there is a fee for using Spyaxe) to remove the trojan for you. then this guy, he downloaded other program, n PAID them, but it didnt work. he was so pissed off, he couldnt stand it, he actually decided to pay SpyAxe to remove e trojan for him!! n here comes the WORSE part... SpyAxe is not an anti-spyware prgm at all! e guy called the no. to look for SpyAxe management team, n the number actually was to a flower shop!! i didnt know whether to laugh or to cry when i saw this in the forum. tt's y i would really advise u to del e trojan manually urself, rather than download some other program to remove it. u will never know what u are downloading.\n\ni deleted it manually and it really did work, i didnt even need to spend a cent. even better, if your PC has a 'system recovery' program, u can juz restore it to an earlier time, a time before the trojan infected your PC. i know ACER computers have this program, n some other brands too. Mine is an ACER laptop, but too bad i didnt set a restore date so i couldn't use this program to help me. if your PC has this program too, do set a restore date where everything in your PC is working fine. you'll thank your lucky stars when you really need to use this program. \n\nBatman, REALLY< BELIEVE ME OK? i spent so much time typing this answer! good luck to you!! do check out the link, there are forums abt other PC problems, forums are best coz those are the pple who have the same problem n they have solved it using their ways, always finish reading every message in the forum, coz some might say this particular way works, but some say no. u haf to read through the whole thing to get the best solution.\n\nHope to hear from u how u removed the trojan, i noe how irritating it can be. do email me at yuni_chan88@yahoo.com.sg ok? thanks! =]

First, try going to Start>Settings>Control Panel and clicking on Add/Remove Programs. See if you can find look2me or some other weird programs that you didn't install there and try to uninstall them.\n\nIf this doesn't work, you need to get some adware/spyware removal programs and try to remove the spyware or adware on your computer. Although you said that this didn't work, try going to this website and downloading a adware/spyware removal program (http://www.download.com/sort/3150-8022_4-0-1-4.html).\nI recommend using either Lavasoft's Adaware, Spybot Search &  Destroy, or one of the other popular anti-spyware applications. You should download a couple programs and run scans using each of them (not at the same time, of course), to see if they can find spyware that the other programs missed.\n\nAfter you install it, try doing a full system scan. The scan should turn up at least one adware/spyware program. Remove all the spyware/adware programs.\n-------------------------------\nIf nothing that I listed above works, restart your computer and press F8 while your computer is loading. Select (with your arrow keys) to start your computer in safe mode. After your computer has booted in safe mode, open one of the adware/spyware removal programs and run a full scan. See if this scanning in safe mode helps. If the scans find spyware or adware, click "remove" to remove it from your computer.\n\n\nIn addition, you should run a virus scan with your antivirus software. If you don't have any anti-virus software installed on your computer, as good anti-virus program is Grisoft's AVG (http://free.grisoft.com/).\n\n\nGood luck!

Because your computer has been hi-jacked.  You most likely downloaded something  that is supposed to be free, like smileys or screen savers.  This allowed mal-ware, ad-ware, or spy-ware into your system.  It's almost impossible to get rid of once this happens.  You need to find a shredding program, that is about your only help.  Find a local comptuer Doctor and get an estimate on how much they will charge to fix the problem.  This happened to us and we never did get rid of it, it  sucks.\n\nI tried downloading all of the free spy-ware removal programs, none of them worked for us, hopefully one will work for you.

1- go to control panel, then to add/remove programs and check if the toolbar name is listed there and try to remove it...\n\n 2- if that doesn´t work ( very probable) try to install windows defender from microsoft website, this one is very strong up to date anti-spyware tool, I GUESS it will be effecient.\n\n 3-yet, in case step 2 is not enough, try to go to C folder and then to PROGRAM FILES and look for the folder with the toolbar name and try to delete it. sometime you have to rename the folder before you can delete it...\n\n   I am almost sure that step 2 will be very sufficient to remove it; yet, to insure the aximum security of your computer try :\n - to check if the windows firewall is enabled\n - you have to firewall the internet connection, you can do it by opening internet connection ( ex local area network or wireless network) then left mouse button click on the network icon and go to properties then click on ADVANCED , on the top you will have windows firewall, you have to click on settings and then select ON ( reccomended)... :)\n\n   I hope these steps will help you get rid of the spyware trouble.\n\n good luck
