WinFixer is malware. Read through these posts and try to remove it:

That is SPYWARE and you do NOT want it.
What you see is part of the typical behaviour of spyware.

You paid for the absolute worse piece of trash ever foisted upon the
computer world.

In the future, do not be so gullible.

You got taken. Your money is gone, and your computer is trashed.

I hope you have learned a valuable lesson about clicking on ads that pop up
on your computer.

Two phase answer...

Perform Part 1 then perform part 2

It is suggested that you execute each tool in Normal Mode then in Safe Mode.

If you are using any version of Sun Java that is prior to JRE Version 5.0,
then you are strongly urged to remove any/all versions that are prior to JRE
Version 5.0. There are vulnerabilities in them and they are actively being exploited.
It is possible that is how you got infected with malware.

Therefore, it is highly suggested that if there are any prior versions of Sun Java
to Version 5 on the PC that they be removed and Sun Java JRE Version 5.0 Update 6
be installed ASAP.

Part 1
------------
Download Adware-Virtumundo Removal Tool --
http://secured2k.home.comcast.net/tools/VirtumundoBeGone.exe

Information on the Adware-Virtumundo Removal Tool:
http://forums.mcafeehelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=57049

Part 2
------------
Download WinFixerFix.exe from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/WinFixerFix.exe

Execute; WinFixerFix.exe { Note: You must accept the default of C:\McAfee }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to enable WGET.EXE to download the needed McAfee related files.

Execute; c:\mcafee\clean.bat
{ or Double-click on 'Clean Link' in c:\mcafee }

A final report in HTML format called C:\mcafee\Normal_ScanReport.HTML or
C:\mcafee\Safe_ScanReport.HTML will be generated. At the end of the scan, it will be
displayed in your browser (Opera, FireFox or Internet Explorer). However, if you are using
WinXP, Win2K or Win2003 your system will be left in a state where you will have to manually
shutdown/reboot the PC. On Win9x/ME platforms the report will not be shown in your bowser
but your PC will automatically be shutdown. It is suggested that you move the report out of
c:\mcafee before performing another scan.

It would be best to scan in both Safe Mode and in Normal Mode and save a copy of the HTML
report for each session.

Please Copy and Paste the contents of the HTML Log files;
C:\mcafee\Normal_ScanReport.HTML & C:\mcafee\Safe_ScanReport.HTML in your reply.

[Guest]

My computer came with a restore disc will it get rid of winfixer?

 

[Guest]

My money is not gone i found this thing called a keygen and it gave me a
winfixer sirel stupid winfixer

 

[Jupiter Jones [MVP]]

Yes...and probably everything else.
You would be better off trying toe other suggestions of using anti spyware
programs to get rid of WinFixer as well as other spyware.
There is probably more.

Also, you should stay away from key generators since their purpose is
largely to aid in stealing software.
Instead, acquire software by legitimate means.

 

[NoNoBadDog!]

First, WinFixer is Malware. Then you most likely installed a trojan or a
worm when you used the Keygen.

You are in way over your head.

You are hurting yourself by your actions.

[NoNoBadDog!]

Then you made more than one serious mistake. The keygen you used probably
installed at least one trojan or worm. You are obviously too gullible for
your own good.
Perhaps you should find a hobby that does not involve owning or using a
computer.

Keygen's are normally used to gain unethical access to software that one
would normally pay for. Keygens are almost always associated with
malware and piracy.

If you are using a keygen downloaded from an unethical source, or you
are using a keygen for unethical reasons, you deserve all the malware
you get.

 

[Guest]

Thanks for the help my computer is runing great

 

[Rock]

My computer came with a restore disc will it get rid of winfixer?

Yes if it deletes all data on the drive and then does the recovery. Why
not just follow David Lipman's excellent advice? And why are you using
a keygen? That's usually not for a legitimate purpose. Maybe there was
some justice in that.

One friend gave me the keygenn im relly sorey i dident no a key gen was ilegill

Keygen's are not illegal, it's what you do with them that is a violation
of licensing for products.

Keygen's provide a code that allows you to use/unlock software that you
would normally have to licenses (normally by paying for it).

The keygen program is not illegal, but if you use it to pirate software
then you are breaking one or more laws in many cases.
