Sorry to repost, guys but the removal method worked really well and the
system was fine for about three days

Today Spyquakeware is back again in all its glory with all its multiple
popups and annoying critical system errors.

I know how to remove it from my earlier posting but I am reposting to see if
anyone knows what let it through? How do I stop it and do I need to move
away from AVG? Or do I just need to update my hosts file or spybot's
immunisation database? Is it combating any new Spybot immunisation database
yet?

And WHAT is the phone number of the government agency to whom to report this
virus? (Simply because of its effects and the time it take to remove and the
paroxysms one has to go through to do this, I don't accept the assertion
that this isn't a virus, it's merely spyware or adware. In its Critical
System Error IT CALLS ITSELF A VIRUS!)

What version(s) of Java do you have installed? If it's less than
jre-1_5_0_07, uninstall all current versions (ensure the java
directory under "Program Files" is empty, and then install the
lastest version from http://www.java.com.

I'm not having problems with malware right now, but:
Using W2K (SP4, German version, current updates) I've checked my Java
Runtime version in the control panel. It says "Version 1.5.0 (Build
1.5.0_06-b05)". When I click on the "Update now" button it says
something like "On this system the current Java platform is already
installed".

A look at the German version of the java.com website confirms what you
wrote. There is a newer version, which I've downloaded right now. Why
didn't the update-option find the new version? Any idea?

Don't know why it didn't update, but the English version of xp behaves
exactly like you describe with the German version of win2k. I updated
it manually too and this version also reckons it's the latest version.
