One variant of it put in a root kit and blocked all access to antivirus sites. You could go anywhere on the Internet unless it happened to be an antivirus site.

This same one also blocked exe files if they happened to be something like Spybot search and destroy. It just wouldn't run anymore.

If you come up against this try renaming the name of the .exe installer and then the .exe of the anti spyware program. eg spyaway.exe to xspyaway.exe

Just a tip when your friends are looking for help etc.
