    Hello!
    I've got this annoying WinFixer popups. I did follow all your instructions, and it didn't help. It still pop ups, but the window now is empty because it was added in the restricted sites list. Here is the log. Pleeeeeeeeeeease help.

    Yes, I ran everything from the tutorial. Everything worked, nothing was found. If I work in the Firefox nothing's happenning, but when in IE, every time I go to a new site for the day, winfixer window pop ups. It's empty now because it was added to the restricted sites list.
