Briefly: "How to Remove SpyFalcon" (Review in full at website)
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic43659.html
SpyFalcon is a anti-spyware program that is known to issue fake warnings on
your computer in order to manipulate you into buying its full commercial
version. If you are infected with this program you may receive warnings in
your task bar that appear to be from Microsoft Security Center stating that
you are infected with spyware and to run its special anti-spyware tool. This
tool turns out to be the commercial version of SpyFalcon. These warnings are
fake and are a goad to have you buy the commercial version of this
software.....
This is a very good article with removal instructions. The idea is you want
to make sure you have definately removed this by comparing several removal
instructions - checking all files and keys that are positives.
