spyware quake removal

monolisp · 2006-03-25, 19:58

Hello,

Does anyone know how to remove spyware quake from the system? I downloaded the latest updates and removed everything and immunized, but there is still an icon in the system tray that pops up and says

"
Your computer is infected!

Critical System Error!
System detected virus
activities. They may cause
critical system failure. Please,
use intimalware software to
clean and protect your system
from parasite programs.
Click here to get all available
software.
"

Then when you click on it it takes you to: hxxp://www.spywarequake.com/?aff=240

It asks you to buy this program.

Any help in ridding my system of this pest would be very much appreciated!

Thanks,
J

I too have this annoying problem (Spyware Quake and Virus Alert!); With the annoying message in the task bar.

Is this a threat? Is there any way to get rid of it?

Please advise.

shoman you and others posted in another member's malware topic, which can delay that member's receiving authorised help because of the post count implying assistance is already being given.

I removed them, please start or stay with your own topics.

Thank you.
