I need to know how to take a screen shot of my Desktop to show you guys whats going on. I thought I took care of that virus I had but it came back last night when my wifes sister was checking her e-mail. Its some spyfalcon 2.0 that keeps installing itself on my machine and norton, spy sweeper, ad-aware se, or spybot S&D will get rid of it. It installs itself then puts these 2 icons on my desk, then icons appear in my toolbar (ie flashing red x's and a flashing warning sign) then a message saying "your pc is infected" and so on plz help

You could always install overtop of your perating system and put the system files in a new directory. Then afteryou have moved everything over to the new OS, removed the old one.

Thats how my wife was able to keep all of her existing apps and files but get rid of the problem. She had a slightly different issue where she was locked out of everything because of a hijacking app.

You can also send in a report /complaint and other various stuff so the rest of the world knows about it, and at the same time bring exposure to the situation.

ok well can anyone tell how to stop this friggin thing its pissin me off

don't belive anything the warning says. It just poses as a warning with all the "normal" icon when there would be a problem. it looks like microsoft update flashing on and off and warning you about crap. thats just the program using their verion of the icon to flash back and forth.
