How to Remove Spy Falcon

[Will.Spencer]

Looking around the 'net, I found lots of pages talking about how to remove Spy Falcon.

Unfortunately, almost all of those pages were useless.

How to Remove Spyfalcon from BleepingComputer.com appears to be an excepton to that rule.

I haven't been encountered Spy Falcon, but I have seen those often "fake" spyware removal ads almost everywhere now. Now I know what their purpose is (to con you into buying their "full" version).

A lot of companies will ask you to download free trial versions (or pay versions) of their software to get rid of Spy Falcon. If you are handy with a computer, try the tutorial at http://www.schrockinnovations.com/removespyfalcon.php. It is 100% free and they won't ask you to buy a product to fix your computer. Its pretty detailed, and might even work for other variants like Spy Sherrif, etc..

Thank you so much tschrock! I used the remove spyfalcon tutorial you posted about and found that it had been updated with new files and intructions just a couple weeks ago. I followed the steps and like magic this pest is gone! I swear that I will never look at an adult site ever again!

I work in a computer repair shop in Lincoln, Nebraska and we have seen a sudden up tick in the number of people infected with a new variant of the SpyFalcon spyware infection. While the basic infection is the same, there are a few new files to worry about.

We have a free removal tutorial posted at http://www.schrockinnovations.com/removespyfalcon.php, but suddenly people started reporting that upon restarting their computers they were becoming reinfected. We have since found that two additional files are being installed now that were not before. We updated the fixsf.zip removal tool in the tutorial to include these files.

Good luck and please post back here and let us know if you have any problems getting it removed.

Hi, I have XP Professional and I used system restore to a previous date and Falcon is no longer affecting my system. I don't see it anywhere.

Start Menu:
Select - Help & Support
Select - Performance and maintenance
Select - Using System Restore and undo changes
Select - Run the System Restore Wizard

Wizard will open

Leave it on the default (Restore my computer to an earlier time)
Select - Next
Select - a date - notice when you select a date you see all the software you installed on that day. Nice to see the hidden installs

Good Luck and I hope someone infects those ass holes at Falcon.
