It worked in the end- if you want to get rid of this thing without buying spyware doctor then follow these instructions:
1- download and install the free spyware doctor and run it.
2- when finished open the log of infected files and save it (I had 80 in total)
3- restart your computer in safe mode (which disables all the memory applications associated with spyfalcon)
4- manually remove registry entries, unregister .dll files associated with spyfalcon then delete the .ddl files and remove all traces of the program
5- run spyware doctor again and if there are some you missed (which not all can be picked up first time) remove them again and repeat as necessary.
It took me about an hour and 15 mins but there are no more traces of the bloody thing in my system AT ALL and all you have done is saved 30 bucks by doing the removal manually. If you dont know how to do any of this then this site has some instructions about unregistering .dlls and removing registry files.

Had a right job trying to get rid of this and despite trying various anti-virus etc software it always came back. Drove me mad !! Followed the advice given below about finding and deleting all of the spy falcon files and then renaming the ginuerep.dll file and trashing it after re-start. It worked ! Had no problems since. Thanks for the help. Jez

spy falcon is a con which messes up your computer, saying it just deletes spyware traces on your computer, but all it does is open a backdoor to all other viruses and is a real horror to delete off your computer. i have deleted it at least 20 times but it just appears again on start up. help. what can i do

Any suggestions

Can anyone tell an average Joe how to remove this BS SpyFalcon program? All the posts sound very helpful below but I am worried about doing permanent damage. Can this be explained for dummies like me?
Already something I have done (I htink something I quarantined when I used spydoctor) has screwed up my computer when I turn it on. It says "C:/ not found". Not good.
Also, the address for Spy Falcon is listed above. Is that the real address? Can we go there in the Philippines and destroy this company and the guy listed above?
Cheers.

ok you have to pay for spydoctor? because its saying for me athat i have to and this is really bad.

Good site, however, I usd smitRem to remove this nasty little tosser from a Win2000 infected machine. The user of this machine (a friend of mine) had Norton installed. I would not recommend ANYONE using Norton. 1) its a systems hog and (2) it doesnt pick this little blighter up!
Also, Trojan Hunter V4.0 does not pick this up.
Wht the hell do we allow programs like this onto the market! These people who distribute malicious code should be locked up!

Thanks for the info - managed to get rid of SpyFalcon in a few hours. The key was the suggestion to rename ginuerep.dll in safe mode, then delete the renamed file on next start up.
Also, when you run msconfig, go to the Startup tab and uncheck SpyFalcon. This reduces the number of files you have to delete.

I folowed these steps but even after that was still infected. I used safe boots and clean boots, and even on a clean boot which should not start processes, spy falcon started runnung before I even had a chance to start Windows Exp;orer. A few componen were already in use and could not be deleted. They were not even flagged for deletion on the next startup.

I have XP and did a system restore to a day prior to spy falcon infecting the computer, and all was fixed within five minutes!

Is there a way we can sue companies like this for all this pain? Thanks this really helped me remove these files.

I have had this problem bofore with a program called "Spyaxe" as well, basicly it is just a reskinned copy of the exact same program. Last time it happened my dad ended up fixing it before I even tryed (It was late when I got the trojan, and I knew exactly what it was the second I got it so I just went to bed knowing that it would be too much of a hassle to figure out at the time.) I am assuming that its pretty much exactly the same and shoud work on any "version" of the program (ie. Spyfalcon, Spyaxe ect... I know there are more out there)

Steps to clean your system (just like the others said actually):
1. go to safe mode (run>msconfig>boot.ini> check /safeboot) reboot.
2. read above SpyFalcon manual removal. take out all the files like they say.
you will not be able to remove ginuerep.dll just yet. if you can't find some of
the things they tell you to remove no big deal.
3. once you erased all the junk, reboot in safe mode again, now go to c:\winnt\system32
and erase the evil file ginuerep.dll.
4. great, you're set. to boot in normal mode, go back to boot.ini and uncheck /safeboot. then
reboot.
hooray.

I finally got rid of this nasty pest. Started up in safe mode and used "search" in the start menu to locate each program, file and folder and delete them one by one. You will not be able to remove the ginuerep.dll file. This little terd is in the Windows/system 32 folder. I renamed this to a new genirc name and re started the computer in normal road. It could not locate this dll file any longer since I renamed it and everything seems ok now. I then went to windows/system 32 and smoked the generic file and it deleted with no problem.
