Prior to running Hijackthis, I ran the following antivirus, anti-spyware/adware software (all following updates to data files, as applicable):
Kaspersky anti-virus
Ad-aware SE
Spybot S&D
CW Shredder
TrojanHunter
One or two threats were discovered in this process and removed. However, Winfixer is tenacious and has not been gotten rid of.
When I load IE, Ewido pops up to warn me about a a file <awvwv.dll>. I removed this file but something is lurking on my system which recreates it when I start up the computer. I believe this file (perhaps among others) is directly related to Winfixer.
Thank you in advance for your help.
