I've had this Winfixer problem for a couple of months now and its really startin to get on me pip. I have been through everything of relevance on the excellent "You must read this before posting a hijack this log" post.
I also had a problem as described below (I have copied and pasted from Madmacs) but since going through the process of cleanup it has stopped.
One additional piece of odd behavior I have noticed is that when I start up my computer without a network connected, I get continual messages from explorer that say that a site I am attempting to connect to can not be reached unless I go online. It gives me the option to Work Offline or Cancel. This occurs at boot time, without opening anything that would use the network. The dialog box keeps appearing no matter which option I check until I establish a network connection.
Windows update is up to date.
I have run -:
