How do I get rid of SpyFalcon?
84970
This thing was so hard to get rid of, but I finally did.  Here is what I did. I searched all over trying lots of things.  I even bought SpySweeper, which would find SpyFalcon but wouldn't permanetly delete it.  Finally I figured out that SpyFalcon is related to the Trojan SmitFraud and so I tried to remove it with a removal tool.  It worked, the two are either the same or related in some way, so it worked and now my computer is free of SpyFalcon.\n\nBelow is the website that had the instructions that I used to get rid of SpyFalcon.

Excerpt from posting at Source location:\n\nWhat finally worked for me was running Spybot Search & Destroy (v 1.4) which found and removed many pieces which were still left behind after a combination of AdAware Personal SE (Build 106r1), SpySweeper (Version 4.0.3, Build 360), and Spyware Doctor (3.2.0.340 but trial version and used manual removal of offending files/registry keys).

You could only delete this spyware by using Zone Alarm if you had the Zone Alarm Security Suite that has built in spyware scan. Zone alarm could block internet access to this program perhaps (I am not sure how the program works though). \nTry various anti-spyware products to try to get rid of it.

errr ... you need to be more specific ...\n\n\nTry using and running Adaware. This should find and delete any spyware/adware on your computer. (it's free)\n\nhttp://www.download.com/ad-aware-se-pers...\n\nAlso, get an anti-virus programme on your computer. A very good free one is avg antivirus\n\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/\n\nAlso, to help clean out any unwanted useless files, you can download ccleaner (crap cleaner) - it's also free.\n\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com/\n\nI use all three of them, and I think they all work brilliantly, never had any problems with any of them.

Better programs that I have found for spyware and adware removal are Spybot S&D and AdAware. Both are free and remove everything when used together.

you can  remove pesttrap your self, go to http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-pest-trap.html and read instructions on what files to delete carefully. but imho, the best way to remove spyware is to get anti-spyware. this way you will remove computer parasite and prevent other spyware from comming to your machine as well. try to find some free antispyware with real-time protection. good luck ;)

use these scans to remove it.\n\nAll of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\n\nAVG Removes I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nSpybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nhttp://superantispyware.com/\nSUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market. Our Multi-Dimensional Scanning and Process Interrogation Technology will detect spyware that other products miss! SUPERAntiSpyware will remove ALL the Spyware, NOT just the easy ones!\nEasily remove over 100,000 pests such as SmitFraud, Vundo, WinFixer, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, WinAntiVirus, AntiVermins and thousands more!\nMake sure after you download any of these, that you update them.
