Seems we have another one of those fake spyware removers that only want your credit card details.
http://blogs.zdnet.com/Spyware/index.php?p=802SpywareQuake is being installed without notice or consent, hijacks the desktop and pops up a warning from the system tray that the machine is infected with spyware. It scans and reports that it found spyware in the machine and then demands payment to remove the so-called spyware.
If you find this blog post and are wondering about SpywareQuake, whether you should buy it, the answer is NO. It's a rogue and a rip-off! It is installed by and with spyware and contains malware to prevent you from removing it. It's another variant of the SmitFraud infection.
Right now none of the antivirus or anti-spyware programs that I'm aware of will detect and remove SpywareQuake.
The offending file that resists removal and causes reinfection appears to be C:\Windows\System32\stickrep.dll.
Heres how to remove the crap should this warning be too late for you
