Possible harmfull infection was detected on your PC. The system will now
download and install the most efficient spyware removal program to prevent

I uodated my antivirus and microsoft antispyware and srybot search and
destroy, and booted in safe mode and ran a virus scan and spyware scan. The
virus scan did not found any things and the spyware scan found one spyware

the "spyfalcon" is back in add and remove program.

You cannot remove Spyfalcon only with Add/Remove Programs. It is very
nasty malware. See Method 2 here:

It would be smart to go through the other malware removal steps in the
main section of that link, too:
