Spyware Quake
Sorry for starting another virus thread but this seems like a special circumstance. Has anyone here heard of Spyware Quake? A spy/adware that gives you a false virus alert message and a popup in the lower right that directs you to their web site? So far running Norton and Microsoft anti-malware programs have failed to eliminate it from my system.
I come to the community on my knees, begging please someone tell me how to get rid of this program. Look, I have ballons for anyone that can help!
Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

You want Smitrem
These variants of smitfraud trojan are about the hardest things to get rid of that there are & smitrem is one of the few things that actually gets rid of it properly.
maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...
Re: Spyware Quake
Yes it is a smitfraud variant which are normaly very hard tog et rid of. If that link hoom gave you doesn't work download hijackthis run it and then post the log at www.castlecops.com. They can the analyse the log for you.

Re: Spyware Quake
Urgh man, Spyware Quake is a nasty trojan virus. Erase it IF you can.
Heh, one of my friends had it, and when we ran an Ad Aware scan, at about 74000 files checked, it restarted.
Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
Re: Spyware Quake
Thanks everyone. I talked to some tech guys at work and my brain still feels numb. They mentioned hijackthis as well and this will be my project for the weekend.

I have HijackThis in my comp, but I can't remove it. Although it doesn't do anything, and I only get files from Ad Aware(low risk).

Re: Spyware Quake
Hijackthis is not harmful. All it does is lsit posible registery errors so you can manually fix them in safe mode.
Always make sure you know what your doing before using it though.
Oh and good luck Vladamir.

Re: Spyware Quake
If it's not harmful, then why does it have this weird name?
Anyone use BullGuard Antivirus?
