I've been trying to remove Spyaxe from a friends computer for a few days now to no avail. Everything I've found has basically followed a similar pattern of going into Safe Mode in windows XP and running smitRem and then a few various anti-malware scanners afterwards. Well after two days of trying many of these and still having the annoying popups come back I'm wondering if there is a way to get rid of this or if I will have to result to a total reinstallation of XP. Below are the log files from smitRem and HijackThis. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
