Am using XP with 6 users. On one user, the SpyFalcon virus detected message keeps popping up. There is an icon on the 'Notifications, section of the Start toolbar. It appears only for one one of the user's.
I have searched the registry (Searched for and deleted one reference to SpyFalcon) and the C: drive (no files or folders fouind).
I tried a utility I found through Google search (SmitREM) to get rid of it.
- In safe mode goto Add/Remove programs and remove SpyFalcon
(I didn't find any program of that name or anything that looked unusual)
- In safe mode delete C:/ProgramFile/Spyfalcon
( again I didn't find any files of that name or anything that looked unusual)
- followed the rest of the instructions
However, even while in Safe Mode, the Popup continued to show up.
