Hi All,
 Has anyone heard of spyaxe 3.0 and how to get rid of it. My son picked this
malware up from a game CD for poker. It has taken over his computer by tring
to sing on line and force him to buy the software to remove it. I tried
adaware and norton. Neither can get it all.

                 Thanks in advance Bud Jarman
