My father actually emailed me today about the same thing. He doesn't know how to get rid of it. He has uninstalled it, ran spyware/antivirus in safe mode and just can't lose it.

this should help you
Found the cure to the SpyAxe popup activity! I actually got desperate enough to complain last night through their website email form. Tonight I got a reply from them stating a lot of complaints came thru due to affiliate's illegal advertising of their product. They provide a simple fix that really worked. Here is the instructions they sent:
------------------
In order to clean your PC from infections related to Spyware Axe product, please follow the instructions below:

1) Save Uninstallers.zip from http://www.spyaxe.com/uninstall/uninstallers.zip to your desktop or HDD.

2) Extract 2 files "illegal_adv_uninstall1.exe" and "illegal_adv_uninstall2.exe" to your desktop or your HDD using WinZip.

3) Execute both of them one by one by double-clicking with your mouse.

4) Reboot your PC

5) Your PC is now clean from the infections.

Try the routine in this text file precisely, and see what happens. McAfee recognizes Spyaxe and also the Zlob trojan that installs it, but there are undoubtedly more on the way.

Notice it's installed by a Trojan. It doesn't fall from the sky by itself.
