I just came across a previous thread which unfortunately is now closed..
I tried to follow the instructions to get rid of this nasty winfixer popup .
I did a virus scan and it came up saying i had a troj Vundo virus..
Unfortunately The FREE online Trendmicro antivirus i used as my symatec has just ran out, couldnt get rid of it..
I ASSUME this is caused by the winfixer pop up i have.
I attempted the instructions below and got as far as downloading the vundo exe folder and following instructions in the safe mode upto typing in C:WINDOWS\System32\npqss.*
after pressing enter to continue the fix.
I said it would RUN then HiJackThis would open automatically.
UNFORTUNATELY IT DIDNT OPEN IT..
It said if not open it manually...
Here I got stuck as i didnt know How I was to open it manually.. I was still in safe mode and the wording looked like it was in DOS....
On the screen there was instructions written similar to what you wrote upto this point, then It suggested I pressed enter after indicating It hadnt done it automatically..
On doing this the screen JUST ended up black with safemode wrote in the corners.. NOTHING else came on the screen to click..
In the end I couldnt get out of it so i had to turn my PC off...
For all i know it may have solved my problem, but as I wasnt sure, I didnt do the other instructions, such as clean up... delete cookies etc.
I did reopen one of my history files on the internet and winfixer came up again.
im not sure if IT had solved my problem if this was from a cookie or if it was still in my system.
can anyone advise please.
thanks

Let's see if we can get you fixed up.
Please print these instructions out for use in Safe Mode.
Please download VundoFix.exe to your desktop.
Double-click VundoFix.exe to extract the files
This will create a VundoFix folder on your desktop.
After the files are extracted, please reboot your computer into Safe Mode. You can do this by restarting your computer and continually tapping the F8 key until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight Safe Mode then hit enter.
Once in safe mode open the VundoFix folder and doubleclick on KillVundo.bat
You will first be presented with a warning.
It should look like this
