This was on the Dell forum on getting rid of spyaxe......
Rename svchosts.dll (this is not to be confused with legitimate
svchost.exe) to something (e.g. killme.dll). Note the datestamp on the
file ... it will be the day of infection.
Reboot your system
Delete killme.dll (you can't delete svchosts.dll directly, as it is "in
use")
Go to control panel / Internet Options / Programs / Manage Add - ons
Disable BHOHomepage
This should pretty much take care of it. Start running the usual
anti-virus/spyware tools to get rid of the vestages. Good luck.
