What is SpyAxe?

SpyAxe is one of the notorious rogue antri-spyware threats that crawl into your system after a Trojan infection. As soon as SpyAxe gets into your system, it starts generating large amounts of pop-ups and greatly exaggerated security warning messages, stating that your system has been infected with spyware. Then the parasite offers you to buy SpyAxe and get rid of the problem, as well as claiming it will protect you against other spyware parasites. This is not the case, as SpyAxe is malware itself.

Manual SpyAxe removal


Important Note: Although it is possible to manually remove SpyAxe, such activity can permanently damage your system if any mistakes are made in the process, as advanced spyware parasites are able to automatically repair themselves if not completely removed. Thus, manual spyware removal is recommended for experienced users only, such as IT specialists or highly qualified system administrators. For other users, we recommend using automatic spyware removal applications found on 2-viruses.com.

SpyAxe is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only SpyAxe can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads SpyAxe trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, SpyAxe offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, SpyAxe not only does not fix the errors, but it takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.

Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as SpyAxe, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install SpyAxe, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.

Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as SpyAxe, is nearly impossible to remove manually.


How to tell if your PC has been infected by a Rogue Anti-Spyware such as SpyAxe?

Numerous undesirable and annoying pop-ups: A typical Rogue Anti-Spyware parasite keeps track of your internet browsing habits, sending your browsing history data to remote servers, owned by third party companies that use this information to advertise their products via numerous pop-ups, toolbars, hijacked homepages and spam letters. All these undesirable advertising methods are used on the victims of Rogue Anti-Spyware.
Changed or new icons: Sometimes, Rogue Anti-Spyware installs unwanted software to a victim’s PC without user’s knowledge and consent. This may lead to slower PC performance and stability, as well as more unwanted programs you can't remove.
