I followed the guides on this site and think I successfully got rid of the SpywareQuake virus. I am no longer seeing the "Virus Alert!" icon in my system tray and am not getting the fake pop up message any more.
Can someone please check my logs to make sure I'm good? I just a bit concerned because the ActiveScan found emediacodec and a virus called bck/agent.bpq.
Thanks much ... I'm looking forward to making a paypal donation!
