I keep getting winfixer.com to come up as a pop-up. I've tried the stuff from ad-ware but it is still there. Does anyone know what would be the best way to get rid of it for good? Thanks

Wow thanks guys big help.

try webroot spysweeper too... good program. gets rid of alot of stuff.

download 2006 panda free version w one update it will get rid of all that crap.

Two apps: Spybot: Search and Destroy, And Ad-aware. Download, install, and update the programs.

Shut down and restart in safe mode by pressing F8 once a second when you see the first window when the computer starts, then selecting safe mode in the windows start menu.

Scan the system more than once with each program, deleting each group of nasties that they find. Best way I found to deal with 99.85% of all spy/mal/adware infections.

Some get so bad like spyaxe require intensive research to find a solution.'
Worst case is when the OS gets corrupted so badly, format and reinstall is the only option.

Winfixer is part of and is vundo.Email me and I can send you the fix dorkscomputers@comcast.net
