Just a precautionary tale. Has anyone heard of Falcon Spy/Adware? The reason I ask is because it downloaded itself just by me going to a completely unrelated website. I spent the next hour trying to stop the annoying pop-up telling me my PC was infected with Spyware. The only way I got rid eventually, was by going to a previous restore point on my PC.
Be careful folks because Anti-Virus and Adware programmes do NOT detect it..............

You should probably post a log so a helper can take a look at the system and advise you.
Before you post a log, and who will advise you. (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288)
