Friggin' SpyAxe

Ugh... my home pc became SpyAxe's bitch yesterday.
For those who aren't familiar with this gem.... it's a chunk of shit that can be forced onto your PC by websites of ill repute. It continually flashes messages about how your computer is infected with spyware, and directs you to their website to purchase the fix.
That's extortion, you fuckers!
I was able to get rid of part of it, but wasn't able to clean it all off. I finally decided that it was time to clean house anyway (I haven't reinstalled windows in a while and it was time), so I applied the cleansing flame and have spent a good part of today setting it all back up again.
