Thanks eddie.
I think i have removed spyaxe, just 1 more thing though, my home page keeps coming up as this http://www.systemwarning.com/
does not matter if i change it, still comes up as this, any ideas?

Sounds like you still have some spyware on there. Try downloading spybot (free) or the MS spyware program (also free) see if they can spot / eradicate anything.

MS Antispyware has a setting to prevent your homepage being changed. Is it up to date? Ed. also suggested Spybot. Did you try it? Another possibility is Hijack This, although you need some knowledge of what can and can't be removed.

It's also worth having a look at Add/remove programs for anything that you don't recognise. Some BHOs get installed here and need to be uninstalled before attempting spyware removal.

Prevention is always better than trying to cure the problem. 99% of spyware is self inflicted by visiting sites offering something for nothing or by participating in peer to peer file sharing.

Have you emptied temp internet files?

Have you reset home page in Internet options (and clicked apply)

Did you try Spybot?

bbc is different from the initial homepage you listed.

Hi
I had the same problem on my system a couple of months back, I also had my home page hijacked by a similar trojan I had already on my system spybot and also avg grisoft anti virus this did not not pick this spyware up. After trying various things eventually I came across webroot anti spyware which located the spyware and destroyed the offender. I believe there is a free 14 day trial version which you could see if it locates it ,but I think you may have to buy the program to erredicate it.

As previously mentioned by Mr. B, a search of google is all that is required. Here's one i've done for you

Make sure you do the Windows updates, which is why you got the problem in the first place.
