You probably already know the answer to this question. SpyAxe is yet one more rogue security program, but it advertises a little differently from most others. SpyAxe places an icon or two in your system tray, and displays security alerts through pop-up balloons. These incessant messages are meant to alarm you, so that you will download the free scan they offer to locate these infections. Many times, downloading the scan will automatically place SpyAxe on your PC, and it is spyware.
How else did it get placed on your computer if you did not download the scan? There are numerous things that may have happened. SpyAxe and other spyware applications usually install without your permission, and you don't realize it until you begin having problems. You may have gotten it when you downloaded music, or opened a spam email. Visiting unsecure websites may also be the cause. Sharing networks with others, using messenger tools – there are many ways this may have happened, but whatever the cause it needs to be removed.
Spyware programs like SpyAxe collect information about your online interests and can often access private information. If you have it, you may notice that emails and pop-up ads you get seem to be related to topics you have been searching on. Is this a coincidence? Most likely no: SpyAxe may have transmitted information it collected about you to third parties, who then send ads related to your interests. Your passwords and other information may be at risk.
Because most of these malicious programs have the ability to modify system files and run continuously in the background on each start-up, people often notice that their computer becomes slow or unstable. Spyware uses an enormous amount of system resources, which is often the cause of the poor performance. In some instances, your PC may even crash. The longer SpyAxe remains on your computer, the worse things may get. You should remove it promptly, but don't attempt to do this yourself unless you are an expert, and you could do severe damage to your PC.
