The Boaxxe Trojan

[JonBlanchard]

Does SpyBot detect the Boaxxe Trojan? It is embedded into my laptop and nothing seems to be working right now to get it out. I learned that the Trojan sets itself up in the Registry and

Just D/L'd SpyBot 1.5.2.20 and began a search, but it did not find the Boaxxe Trojan. Meanwhile, McAfee showed a popup stating that it was suppressed and I am still trying to figure out how to get rid of it.

Thanks in advance for your response.

current version of Spybot is 1.6 where did you "just get" 1.5?
anyway
update and then run a safe mode scan

google finds- from reliable sources
I have not looked at these yet
BVVC about google hits on unreliable sources or offers to sell "free scans" of unknown software
