Well, I am the unhappy recipient of WinFixer.

I have looked at Google groups for removal instructions. Found Kelly's
suggestion to use Spyware Removal Guideline.com's instructions, but...

They seem fairly complicated for a dummy like me, so I wonder if there is a
simpler method available.

Will appreciate any good guidance you can give me.

Thank you very much.

Symantec's Vundo (AKA Winfixer) Removal Tool has been updated twice since
the weekend. It *may* help:

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.net/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post

BobI, PABear, and Plato:

Thank you, all, very much for your help. Will try Symantec's solution and
report later.

Best to you all.
