So far, the Smitrem program has totally removed the Spyaxe & nvctrl.exe
crap. I hope that the people who write this malware and others are
condemded to the 7th level of hell. I too had the flasher system tray
icon with the constant balloon popup and now it seems to be gone so far
with no ill effects. It has only been about 10 minutes since running
the tool but wanted to give my 2 cents worth.
