Hello,
I ran a search here and I see a few other people are having this problem. Appears the solution is given on a individual basis.
Sporadically this thing will disconnect me from my internet server and then a desktop with the AxFreePorn name an logo appears and its starts trying to dial that server. I delete the desktop and the dialer but it reappears eventually.
I have run Adaware, Spybot and spywareinfo.com/xscan (recommended by my internet provider). None of them get rid of it or even seem to pick it up.
I'm sort of a computer novice. One of my friends who is big on computers said I will probably have to back up my programs and reformat my hard drive. Is there a more simple solution to his problem? Any help would be great. Thanks!

Geri asked me to have a peek in this thread. I'm interested in this AxPornDialer you are speaking of.
Next time that thing shows up on your desktop (I presume it is a shortcut?)
Right click the shortcut> click properties.
In the general tab should show path to the actual file.
What is this path please?
Next find the file and upload it here for me please:
Please include there the link to this thread so I know whos it is.
Thanks!

Hi Blender,
I figured out what I was doing wrong on the AVG software last night but as I was going to respond and let you know the Axfreeporn virus activated and knocked me off.
Here is the path of the desktop that shows up.
"C:\Documents and Settings\Mike Blue\Local Settings\Temp\1173843282O8lCa.exe"
I will forward the file to your link indicated. I'm getting this to you first, then I will continue with the AVG part of your post.
