Answer 1

Hi there,

Here's some detailed information on the SpyDawn infection:
http://spywarefiles.prevx.com/RRDAJI35144399/SPYDAWN%2EEXE.html

The best and easiest way to remove this is by installing the Free Trial of Prevx1. This will scan your PC and remove this and any other infections free of charge.

Answer 2

Your PC is infected with adware. Use these scans to remove it, both are free.
pybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

Your computer has been hijacked by SpyDawn Or SpywareQuake. this is a very dangerus hijacker
now-a-days and can damage your computer.

If your computer has been infected with SpyDawn Or SpywareQuake and hijacked by the http://spydawn.com/ then your computer is in a real danger because it does transfer back and forth information from the infected computer which makes it a potential for data theft.

SpyDawn Symptoms:-

User's homepage is changed to pestcapture.com or iesafetywarning.net or to other unfamiliar websites.
Warning messages such as "Virus Alert", "Your Computer is Infected", "Security Alert" Trojan-Spy.win32@mx or Spyware.Cyberlog-X infections are displayed.

Automatic download and installation of a rogue antispyware product. Presence of blinking icons next to computer clock. The icons can generate balloon messages claiming infection. The icons usually looks like a circle with a (?) or a 'danger' triangle with an exclamation mark inside.

I got all the information about this spyware from the below link and there you can also remove it by using the manual and automatic process, automatic process detects as spywarequake..

SpyDawn is a new rogue antispyware program from the creators of VirusBurst, SpywareQuake, etc. This infection creates fake security alerts in your taskbar as well as installing a fake antispyware application called SpyDawn.

Answer 5

I am having this problem with SpyDawn, too. After looking around, I found this resource which seems to address it:

http://remove-spydawn.com/spydawn-removal.html

Since I cannot afford to buy good scanner at the moment, I am going to try the Google Pack first. If it doesn't work, I will consider buying XoftspySE.

Good Luck!

Hi there,
