I haven't had to make use of these services, yet, but I think the geekstogo 
forums have a good reputation for providing sound advice for removal of 
malware.  From what I could tell from a quick search, it looks like their 
directions for using the SmithFraudFix should address this SpyFalcon 
problem.

Unless one of the big names in anti-malware offers their own removal tool, 
I'd give the above one a try.

Subject: [PCBUILD] spyware imbedded in my os


Somehow I have become the proud recipient of an irritating ad located in =
the lower left side of my display.  It says that I have been infected by =
a virus and if I click on the ad they will tell me how to get rid of it. =
 It takes me to a web site for Spyfalcon, a spyware removal software comp=
any.  I don't want their software, but you must buy to eliminate the ad. =
 I have ZoneAlarmAV, Spybot, Spysweeper, AdAware SE, MS Defender(beta), R=
egistry Mechanic, The Cleaner, and RegCleaner. None of these have touched=
 this irritating little piece of malevalence. 

               The NOSPIN Group Promotions is now offering
                 our special coffee mugs and mouse pads
              with the PCBUILD logo...  at a great price!!!
