Mine were. I check for updates at least 2-3 times a week on MSN Beta and this thing just took over.

The way it acted (and grant you I am computer illetrate in many ways), it seemed to me that it targeted my MSN AntiSpyware as it changed the little bullseye icon, it changed the desktop icon and when I would hit what was my MSN it would take me to their site.

Perhaps there is a flaw or backdoor in the MSN anti-spyware that Spyaxe focuses on and can attach itself to.

All I know is that Spyware Doctor took care of my problem and whatever else was in there because my computer is faster now that I installed it and had it do its thing.

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted. You're just left with yourself all the time, whatever you do anyway. You've got to get down to your own God in your own temple. It's all down to you, mate.
I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong.
