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!!!
