From other forums I have learned about spyaxe and found some things to do to remove it, none of which have worked.
BTW, I have Ad-Aware SE, Spybot and McAfee security suite.
I tried the Smitrem tool, but it didn't work. I downloaded and tried EWIDO, it found some stuff but didn't get rid of Spyaxe.
Can anyone advise me how to proceed?
Here is the log file from Smitrem:
