spyware quake removel from system

Could you tell me which spyware programs you used and if you used them with the PC in safe mode?

Tis is from my personal list of FREEBIES. I am sure some of the ver have changed since. One of these should be able to remove it.

He's right, some spyware needs to be removed in safe mode. I run adaware, spyware blaster, microsoft anti-spyware.

recently, I'm big on trend micro free online scan, it found some keyloggers, etc. others didn't:

gets you right to running it.

ca.com also has a free online version of pestpatrol

and spysweeper seems to find what others don't, you'll have to pay for it after 30 days.

new drive-by websites hijack regular real websites and install spyware; disabling activex in internet zone may be all you can do to prevent this. this is without you downloading anything, simply visiting their site:

i suggest you track this program and remove it manualy.
find the location of this program and delete it after shutting down the process from task manager(end task).
if it still exist or return after deleting it it could be a spyware striker and need strong anti spyware.
for me i found bitdefender internet security is the best antivirus.

As allouh1 suggested remove it manually but make sure that you are in [b]Safe Mode[/b] before attempting this. I would remove any files that you know are directly connected to this issue and then run a registry checker over the system again in Safe Mode so you can pickup any nasties and remove them without problems of having files locked as Critical Windows Files.

If you don't have a registry cleaner you cat try this from Iolo System Mechanic 6

It's a fully working 30 day trial version of their product so it will do everything that the bought program will do just don't use the Remove Duplicate Files as this will kill your system.

If the other spyware removers fail, try in safe mode:
1. Spybot Search and Destroy:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

then

2. Adaware:

mcaffe, nortons ,trend and yes on safe mode

give me some time to see which of these will work everyone has given me so many thank you

Hello guys. Is there any chance to get one of these files which infecting computers with Spyware Quake (vc3_05b.exe, VideoCodec3_05b.exe etc.) I need to do more research but failed to find an infection files. If you have one of these, please send me email with zipped file.

email: remove.spy@gmail.com

Thanks in advance

I had spyware quake 2.1 and I cleaned it by manually deleting as much of it as possible then ran adaware to get the rest. The popup that remained seems to be only installed for the current user so I backed up my documents , desktop and favorites, logged on as another administrator account and deleted my profile. Then I logged on as myself and copied the documents back, reset my internet connection and all is fixed.

We have seen this piece of cr*ap more than a dozen times in the past week in our service center. SpywareQuake is a new variant of the SpyFalcon and SpySherriff infections. I think a new variant has been released because all of a sudden customers started reporting that our free online removal tutorial stopped working. It seems that three new files have been appearing on the hard drives we have looked at. The files are all located in the System32 folder and they are msvcp71.dll, msvcr71.dll, and stdole3.tlb.

We have updated our tutorial at http://www.schrockinnovations.com/removespywarequake.php to include these files, and now it seems to be working again. If anyone knows about a completely automated (and free) tool to remove this, post about it because it would save me a boatload of time.
