Yesterday started getting winfixer 2005. Went thru all the initial steps of downloading suggested adware/malware, etc programs to clean system. running McAfee suite as well. Restricted IE severely as recommended. using Firefox and its companion for internet and email. Installed Highjack this to get ready for sending info to be helped. Please help me with this issue as I have no idea how to get rid of this annoying program. Thank you!!!
