Hi,

I have a problem with my IE, from time to time an ad pops up recommending to install winfix.
I tried spybot, ad-aware but none of them can find this spyware!

Sometimes the ad page cannot be found but 57 IE windows opens up with same address trying to forward me to winfix URL.

Do you have any suggestions on how I can get rid of this spyware and/or trojen?

Thanks
