Spyfalcon got me yesterday. Tried to remedy using Spybot, Adaware and Microsoft Anti-spyware. Spybot and Microsoft found the problem, but did not fix it. The solution you provided worked great.
Thanks for the great help.

Hi I am new to this site...however I am having a huge problem...
I downloaded and purchased spyfalcon...my computer wouldn't let me do anything so it seemed the best option...I wasn't even able to go in and search for info on the product. So I paid for this then find out right after that it's a trojan. What is one to do? Are they going to clean my bank account out? I am so worried because it was actually purchased with the companies bank account. I don't know what to do.
Please help...anyone!!!!!
