I spent much of the evening trying to remove some spyware from the computer. Somehow some crap called SpyAxe had gotten installed on the system, and I had a devil of a time getting it removed. After Ad-Aware, Spybot, and Microsoft AntiSpyware all failed to remove it, I searched Google and found some additional instructions. These included such fun things as installing HijackThis and ewido, then booting in to safe mode to run all the tools. It took several hours to complete the process, but the system is finally clean again.
