Spy Falcon

This morning I found I had picked up some spyware called "Spy Falcon". There are little error boxes popping up every 30 seconds or so in the lower right corner of the screen (they look like genuine errors from windows, but are not) telling me "possible harmful infection was detected on your computer ...blah blah blah. To remove click here" Even when I try to close the box, I'm redirected to Spy Falcon's web page and given a dummy list of programs that were found, and in order to get rid of them, I need to buy their program. Then, no matter how many times I remove the spyfalcon software from the control panel, it installs itself again. I'm also getting annoying popups that show up in explorer every once in a while. Obviously the program causing the problem is the same one offering the fix. Adaware Se and Webroot have detected nothing, and I'm stumped. Can anyone help me?
