|
|
| Guys, I need some help. Yesterday morning I logged on on my laptop, opened some mail and began receiving Falcon Spyware detection pop-ups. Soon I saw an SF icon on my desktop. I remeoved the program from the "remove, add programs menu but it regenerated itself. This morning I tried logging on on the laptop to no avail. What happened? What advice can you guys send my way? |

Tufan this is what you need to do and explained through the link i have supplied, this will enable you to open your laptop, use the instructions according to what operating system you are using e.g ME, XP etc.

once that is done we can work on cleaning your PC up, that part is easy. :wink: |

| ok Bro. I got to start in the safe mode, i went to control panel and removed the falcon spyware. I also want to delete Quick time player but it wont go. I think it's lodged itself in into that program. Should I press "Uninstall Everything"? If I do this it will uninstall the system extentions. It says"not recomended". |

Don't uninstall 'quick time player' as that is a good program to have and i have it too.
Now i need to know what anti virus program you have?
Then we will proceed. :wink: |

That is not a good anti-virus program and you need to consider installing either Norton or symnatec as they would have caught this well in advance. |
