Title: SpyFalcon won't go away
Post by: Kelly on March 15, 2006, 08:54:00 PM

This Spyfalcon keeps coming back.

Running AVG and Spybot S&D...
Turned off system restore...
started in safe mode...
ran Spybot

It is still there...

Removed it 3 times from "Add or Remove Programs" in the Control Panel
It sits in the task bar and constantly tells me "Security Alert"


If it helps I am running Win Xp Home


The link goes here  spyfalcon.com


Any suggestions will be appreiciated.

Thanks
Kellee

Kellee.... You might wish to D/L CCLeaner .... http://www.ccleaner.com/

Once installed , run the "Cleaner" portion and then run the "Issues"
This may pickup the entries that are still left in the registry and remove them.

Let us know how it works for you .

CCleaner won't deal with SpyFalcon nor any other infection but there are tools and procedures available.
Read in [highlight]here (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic43659.html)[/highlight] and follow the instructions to the letter.

When done, carry out the procedures listed [highlight]in this post (http://www.computerhope.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1140729094/1#1)[/highlight] and post a Hijackthis logfile here when done.
If possible, zip the logfile and attach it rather than post it.

Sorry 'bout that

I removed the link.

Considering reformatting the drive and reinstalling OS...when I get the time, until then we still have 2 other healthy computers.

A good format and reinstall will solve most Windows problems, for a while.  ;)
