hiya, I had exactly the same problem with this at the weekend.

You have numerous options available.....

1. Go on to bit torrent and download symantec corporate edition 10...this will remove spy falcon and all ofending spyware it has installed. Thats what I did (before I realised the other more obvious solution) I tried numerous spyware and malware packages and the only thing to remove it 100% was symantec.

2.if you are using windows XP simply use the system restore function (by booting in safe mode) and reestore to a time before you got the virus (far easier)!

3. Google 'Spy Falcon removal' and have a browse. THere are numerous ways to remove the file by manually.

this is all you'll ever need for Spyware removal

PS. Stop using Internet explorer! make sure to use either Firefox or Opera Browsers, doing this will stop malicious scripts and files being installed on your pc without you knowing

Spy Falcon requires a manual removal. if you want I can post up the details.

Had to remove it on loads of machines lately. If you don't remove it correctly it will just keep auto installing on reboot. It's a bit of a cnut

Symantec anti virus cleaned it away good n proper....I found the cheaper spyware utils to be useless though....

[AcIdBuRnZ]

Really? Even the reg keys?

[craigie b]

what damage can the reg keys do?

[Jamie.]

Create it again after you reboot

[AcIdBuRnZ]

[craigie b]

but symantec removes the virus completely so the reg keys don't do anything

[Jamie.]

Yes they do, they recreate it when you reboot your computer

[craigie b]

lol, that didn't happen on my PC

[Jamie.]

Did you check again? More than once

[craigie b]

yeah, I ran a couple of full scans....the first one took of a phenominal amount of spyware things that spyfalcon had installed. After that it was fine.

[Jamie.]

Nice one, But do regular scans for a while incase it comes back. And dont use that shite which is known as norton

[craigie b]

I'll edit the registries just to make sure
