Hi,
avast! is an antivirus program and does not speacilize in spyware removal. However I know a few free tools that do.
First: If you do not have Windows 2000 or XP please go to step 2, but if you do have Windows 2000 or XP then please continue. Download Ewido, this is a free/paid program that will work alongside avast! that speacilizes in malware/trojans and worms. I recommend this download only if you have Windows 2000 or XP. You can get it by clicking on the link. Then install, do not forget to update after installation. Note: Free version only Scans, Removes, and updates. Realtime, and auto updates must be payed for. Package comes as a 14 day trial of the full version.

Second: If you do not have Windows 2000 or XP then this step is for you if you do then please continue to step 3. Please download Bitedefender 8 Free Edition by clicking on the link below. Once installed update and run a scan. This program speacializes in Viruses, Spyware, Trojans and other unwated programs like Ewido but is better for older systems.

Hi knighthawk1 :
SpywareQuake is a SPYWARE program, NOT a virus . You
will find complete removal instructions at :
it uses a trojan 3295 to install it. Avast should get rid of the trojan right? if so it cant. iv tried 95% of the stuff listed but i can try it all again with the other stuff listed. been working on this for over 18 hours now. im thinking it is an updated version putting new files in that i dont recognize. reason i think that is because, as much research as i have done on this, i have found all known files it creates and or is ass. with it and that ALOT. i’ll keep tring and let you know what works.
Hi knighthawk1 :
If you are having difficulty removing it, why not ask an
Expert on an antiSPYWARE forum for help, like the
freedomlist site I provided a link !?
