1- go to control panel, then to add/remove programs and check if the toolbar name is listed there and try to remove it...\n\n 2- if that doesn´t work ( very probable) try to install windows defender from microsoft website, this one is very strong up to date anti-spyware tool, I GUESS it will be effecient.\n\n 3-yet, in case step 2 is not enough, try to go to C folder and then to PROGRAM FILES and look for the folder with the toolbar name and try to delete it. sometime you have to rename the folder before you can delete it...\n\n   I am almost sure that step 2 will be very sufficient to remove it; yet, to insure the aximum security of your computer try :\n - to check if the windows firewall is enabled\n - you have to firewall the internet connection, you can do it by opening internet connection ( ex local area network or wireless network) then left mouse button click on the network icon and go to properties then click on ADVANCED , on the top you will have windows firewall, you have to click on settings and then select ON ( reccomended)... :)\n\n   I hope these steps will help you get rid of the spyware trouble.\n\n good luck

U have serious spyware issues and u r not able to remove it as these spyware have added themself to ur startup list. So to remove them first click on start go to "run"\nthen write "msconfig" and press enter then go to startup tab and uncheck everything beside ur virus scan or if u have dsl connection then leave the software of ur ISP then click on apply and restart the computer. then unistall all the spyware removing softwares from Add and remove programs cause if u have lot of spyware removal tools then sometime they identify each other as spyware. Then download ADaware Se personal from download.com and run this scan in the safe mode as there is no software running in the background in the safe mode of the computer and ur computer will be clean as a whistle.

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.
