KABOOM! Kena spyware. I've used Ad Aware to remove the usual claria, 180search assistant & etc....... But what's annoying me even more is this fishy self-intalling so-called anti-spyware thingie known as SpyFalcon 2.0! Ad Aware removed it, but it kept re-installing by itself! Tried removing it through Add/ Remove programs and %^$%^$#&^!!!! bloody thing still kept on reinstalling! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR RRGHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! U^$&%^#%$&!!!! Screenshot attached below.

Reputation: 249 ![]() ![]() ![]() Rep Power: 7 | Try booting into safe mode and uninstalling the program from there... ![]() Also if u can locate the installer, Shift + Delete the file in safe mode too... It may work... Googled Spyfalcon and found these links, they may help or they may lead to more spyware? Anyway try at your own risk. Link 1: Some detailed instructions for removal, requires downloading a small program. Link 2: Provides links to other spyware-removal programs. Last edited by GarPhreak : 5th Mar 2006 at 08:58 PM. |
