I have had trouble with WinFixer for half a week now. try lots of things (several anti spyware, various anti virus, etc). It keeps coming back with popups.
I am running Windows XP Pro with all the latest updates installed.
The sys admin guy in my office adviced me to do a Windows (registry) restore to a version before the problem happened. Done that. Haven't seen a pop-up since, but it was only a couple of hours ago.
I've read through some advice to other users with the same problem, so I have done the HiJackThis. Here is the Log. (15 mins ago). Can you please tell me if I still have it, and if so, how do I get rid of it. Are there still leftover files on my C: drive which I need to clean up?
Also. What threat/risk does WinFixer pose? How does it compromise my privacy, etc.?
Thanks heaps!
