note; you will need to register but it's all free.
You could also try AdAware and Spybot S & D first.

These two free programs are worth getting either way.

I switched to Firefox which seemed to take care of the problem, but everytime i use Explorer, the Winfixer pops up.
Originally posted by knightwestIn that case I would say use the HijackThis program I mentioned. It is a well know b@stard to get rid of at times but the experts [in the link above] do it no problem.

Originally posted by knightwestWell, ff is a better choice of browser if you ask me, so I wouldn't feel bad about it. 🙂 Take the tabbing feature, for instance. Just Ctrl+T and you got yourself a new tab to surf in. Which brings back memories of another great browser. Opera.

Obviously you must turn it off everytime you use the pc.

You need to use the HijackThis program to REMOVE Winfixer properly.
Download it, run it and post the resulting logfile to an online analysis site, there are plenty that will help you. [including the one I mentioned previously]
