SPYFALCON

This webpage was set up to help internet users remove SpyFalcon infections from their PCs. Please note that we are not associated with and do not endorse SpyFalcon[dot]com or its rogue software.

SpyFalcon is a rogue anti-spyware program that uses a Trojan horse to infect computers. It produces a task bar balloon pop-up warning about a spyware threat that in most cases does not exist, unless you count its own Trojan. The pop-up is actually a deceptive advertisement designed to prompt the user into downloading SpyFalcon.

To remove SpyFalcon and/or stop its pop-up messages the hidden installer, Trojan and adware programs must be removed. If all the components are not completely removed it has the ability to re-install itself. Two options are available:

Option 1 (technical) : Bleepingcomputer.com has a complicated procedure to manually remove SpyFalcon. This option is quite technical and you use it at your own risk.

Option 2 (non-technical) : For users that require a simple automatic procedure to remove SpyFalcon we recommend using XoftSpySE. XoftSpySE is a reputable anti-spyware program and safe to use. Technical support is also provided if you require personal assistance:

1. Download XoftSpySE
2. Scan with XoftSpySE removing all infections
3. Reboot
