Major spywar eprob 'Spywarestrike'

[houllier*]

Ahh Regedt32.exe?

[houllier*]

Ok I deleted the reg keys (Half of them weren't even there) and it hasnt done anything

[houllier*]

This is hopeless, nothing seems to be getting rid of it

In XP check Hkey Local Machine \Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.

HKey Current User \Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.

You are looking for an unfamiliar program.

In the first one all I see is a folder called 'optionalcomponments'

In the second one it doesnt have anything there except a default REG_SZ file in the main window

fdisk /mbr

format c:

reinstall OS and apps.

It seems most of the registry keys that it installs arent there, all I am getting now is that annoying pop up in the sys tray I cant seem to get rid off.

I keep seeing that 'netwrap.dll' is the problem in the sys32 folder but I don't see it, nearest I have is 'netrap.dll'

I dont see anything that would be written to the sys32 folder.

However, unless you remove all of this :

%UserProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\SpywareStrike 2.5.lnk
%UserProfile%\Desktop\SpywareStrike.lnk
%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\SpywareStrike
%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\SpywareStrike\SpywareStrike 2.5 Website.lnk
%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\SpywareStrike\SpywareStrike 2.5.lnk
%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\SpywareStrike\Uninstall SpywareStrike 2.5.lnk
%UserProfile%\Start Menu\SpywareStrike 2.5.lnk
%ProgramFiles%\SpywareStrike\Lang\English.ini
%ProgramFiles%\SpywareStrike\Quarantine
%ProgramFiles%\SpywareStrike\SpywareStrike.exe
%ProgramFiles%\SpywareStrike\SpywareStrike.url
%ProgramFiles%\SpywareStrike\msvcp71.dll
%ProgramFiles%\SpywareStrike\msvcr71.dll
%ProgramFiles%\SpywareStrike\signatures.ref
%ProgramFiles%\SpywareStrike\uninst.exe

You are probably reinfecting yourself.

Is everything running good now other then the pop up in the systray? If it is just that download this little program and get rid of it. http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml

I managed to get rid of the pop up, sure I posted that here yesterday but seems not, but yeah I deleted a .dll file someone told me to and now it seems fine, thanks

A bit late, but last time I found one of those "unremovables" I happened to find http://www.ewido.net/en/ and it did the trick (eval. version).

spywarestrike (the clone of spyaxe) mutates from time to time.
there are several dlls which are responsible for blinking ad.
here are the up-to-date removal instructions of spyware strike.

I get rid of it by first installing spysweeper, run a sweep, then install and run spyware doctor. after spyware doctor runs spysweeper pops up warning of new changes and asks to allow or deny, deny and its gone.
