I am using PC for just 6 months so i really can`t get rid of Spyfalcon by myself. I wanted to ask if someone can help me with some program or something. I found a way to fix it on this site but it is too complicated for me.
Any help will be of great use to me.

Best regards

Please post a Hijack This log so that the files associated with the virus/spyware/hijacker can be identified. You can download Hijack This at this link http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/ then place it into a folder of it's on, such as C:\HJT, so that back up copies can be made and not clutter your desktop or other folders and the backup copies of deleted items can be easily located if needed.

Once saved double click HijackThis.exe, and press "Scan". When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log, Ctrl-A to Select All, and copy its contents into the text editor at this forum.

Do not fix anything yet unless you know what you are doing. This is a powerful tool that can crash the computer if used improperly.

You can also use SpyFalcon manual removal instructions. However, running a HijackThis scan and posting your log for analysis here is more recommended.

Hi,
Don't know much about anti virus progs etc. but I managed to get rid of AWVTU.DLL and ATMCLK.exe after a fortnight of banging my head off the keyboard.
It goes something like this:-
Go to http://www.browser-hijack.com/
Download Free Trial Version Now (2.33M)
Run Prog and it will disclose baddy files but it won' t delete them because it's a trial version!
Take a note of the location(it's usually SYSTEM32) and the filenames.
Don't bother trying to delete them at this stage as the system won't allow you as they are in use.
Reboot computer
Go to BIOS
Set Boot Device for floppy drive
Insert FDISK(get it here:-http://www.23cc.com/free-fdisk/)
Press save changes and let the computer boot off the floppy.
When you see the flashing cursor at A:\ type C:\
Then type DEL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ATMCLK.exe
Then do the same for all the other filenames you have a note of.
WHOOHOO! VIRUS FREE!
Don't forget to reset the BIOS to boot off hard drive!
Happy Virus killing!

SpywareQuake/Falcon removal instructions at
http://www.sunbelt-software.com/spyware/SpywareQuakeRemoval.html

I was getting a "Computer is infected" message at the system tray/notification area on XP Home Edition. The instructions identified several files that were located in my system32 folder. I also performed a registry search for entries that include these filenames.

Hope this helps...
