I was victimized!!!! I'm going to kill all people related to the company that makes Spy Falcon!!!!!!!!! They want you to buy thier spyware app to remove their spyware app. FUCK they sell that shitty app for $50!!!!!
http://www.spyfalcon.com/
KILL THEM!!!!!
I was amazed actually - somehow I got infected by multiple spyware removal tools. Spy Falcon, Mal wipe, spyzooka, win fix, man I can't even remember how many and they all were recomending multiple fixes to get rid of each other it was ridiculous!!! Meanwhile the only spyware I was infected with was the apps that said I was infected by aps that were supposed to remove spyware! I can't beleive they can do that kind of crap like say you are infected with the program they are trying to sell you...ridiculous.
Anyway, I did the usual stuff by using hijack this, and spy bot - they both failed. Then I had to resort to google and found a way to remove part of spy falcon from here: (but don't use this - just illlustrating how much of a pain in the ass it is to remove this one "tool" that is supposed to remove spyware even though it is spyware)

Even after doing that I still had a few other pop ups all be spawned from internet explorer that I couldn't get rid of and eventually found a very nice anti spy ware app to get rid of everything called Spyware Doctor.
I got it in like 1 minute using torrentspy and it's nice and cracked. They only sell it for $29 if you want to buy it...that is but really it is pretty damn good and since you can get it for free via torrent spy I highly recommend it...anyway...just thought I'd share some frustration and give a possible solution for getting rid of having to use spybot, hijack this, housecall.trendmicro.com....etc....this spyware doctor thing works good...so...so there!
