Scarecrow Man Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 I have delt with several of these. I have found the SpyAxe to be the hardest to remove.

homecomputeraid Posted January 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 I was cleaning someone's home PC this week, and he had SpySheriff on his machine. That thing was terrible. Thanks Andsome. I think I have a link to that site at the bottom of my article? It is a good place to look if you're ever wondering whether a piece of Antispyware is any good.
