Get some kind of antivirus. I know for a fact McAffee will get rid of it and you can probably find it for less than $50.\n\nOr for free you can try.\nhttp://www.pandasoftware.com\nand for adaware which may fix some other problems you are likely having http://www.lavasoft.com/

Winfixer can be removed with smitrem by noahdfear. Also try manual removal. For complete instructions visit this page:\nWinfixer Removal http://www.precisesecurity.com/computer-virus/antivirus-0026.htm

That annoying pop up is actually either spyware or adware - the only way to get rid of it is to download a spyware sweeper and then to do a scan to remove it.\n\nFor a quick fix you can try this: WIN XP\n\nClick start > run > type "msconfig" > click on furthest right startup > disable all > click ok or apply > restart your computer\n\nThis msconfig is totaly reversable and will stop the icons loading up when you start windows - it will not delete it\n\nhope this helps

Are you using Internet Explorer? (That's what I use so that's the best way I know to explain it.) If so, go under the "Tools" menu and select "Pop-Up Blocker", then pick "Turn Off Pop-Up Blocker". Just remember that you may want to turn it back on later to block unwanted pop-ups!

systems restore will stop it.>    Go to start, controll panel, systems,  and click on  systems restore tab.\nAnd go back in dates as much as you can this will work.\n\nIf you put your computer on hibernate it will help prevent these problems\n\nI can not believe  you have been waiting a week for this advice.\n\nThis info will solve all over pop up problems you have in the future...

You have spyware/adware installed on your computer..\nDownload a freeware antispyware prog like spybot search & destroy (which you can find at www.download.com) and scan your computer to remove the spyware and adware=]\n\nand i suggest you download a popup blocker too..

You've got spyware imbedded in your registry.\n\nI would recommend Webroot's SpySweeper (free for the first 2 weeks of use); it eliminated the winfixer popup from my machine even after adaware and spybot didn't.\n\nAlso get HijackThis. It will take a snapshot of suspicious registry entries. The downside of HijackThis is that it requires someone who really knows the registry to analyse the results -- you have to post the scan to a forum, and wait for someone to give you the answer.

There a number of ways to remove winfixer which involve playing with your registry. If you are an advanced user and are comfortable with such operations, then you can google for websites that have solution. On the other hand you can use third party software like Computer Associate pestpatro . it shd do the job!.\n\nHTH

Ah, Winfixer. A royal pain to remove.\n\nI found a tool that automates the job. \nhttp://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic18610.html\n\nFollow the instructions there and WinFixer should kick the bucket!\n\nOh, if it won't remove, boot the computer in safe mode. To do so, when you first turn on the computer, hold down F8. Select Safe Mode and run the tools then.\n\nHope this helps!\n\nOthers are recommending the general antispyware tools that failed on my computer; this tool is specifically designed for WinFixer and it's variants, so it's much better at removing it.

i'm not familiar with that particular pop-up blocker, but i can tell you this though, everytime you wanna open a program or a window, press "ctrl" and hold while clicking on the that porgram or window. then it should open, or just disable the pop-up blocker.

In Internet Explorer TOOLS > POPUP BLOCKER > TURN OFF POPUP BLOCKER\n\nbut youi might have other popup blockes as well.\n\nGoogle Toolbar: To completely disable the pop-up blocker, open the Toolbar Options window and clear the checkbox next to pop-up blocker in the Accessories section.\n\nYahoo Toolbar: Click on the shield icon and uncheck Enable Pop-Up Blocker.

Try deleting cookies and emptying the cache on your browser. Download this pop-up blocker for PC and install http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/43341. See if it helps. Pop-ups is a PC thing so try to minimize it with the blocker and cleaning your cache and cookies from time to time.

Try this little program.  It is great:\n\nRegCleaner\nhttp://www.aplusfreeware.com/categories/LFWV/RegCleaner.html\nIt's called RegCleaner and it shows you a list of all the programs.  If you see anything that has to do with the program you mentioned you can safely delete it.\n\nGood Luck\n\nIf that doesn't get rid of it:\n\nTry these. They work and they are free:\n\nRun the tool and then download the free spyware and virus protection programs:\n\nMalicious virus removal tool:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx\n\nAd-Aware Free download:\nhttp://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/...\n\nAVG Download free\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/1\n\nYahoo Toolbar has good pop-up blocker:\nhttp://toolbar.yahoo.com/\n\nGood Luck

Try going to a section in your computer called, "My Computer," and deleting the programs you do not want.  It would also benefit you to download a "POP UP" protector.  If my answer doesn't help you, then put your question in the Internet Section of this Q&A group.

go to tools, internet options, privacy and uncheck block pop ups.  i think that fixes it.
