    I did read the easy to follow and do instructions I did all that was set before me and I still have Winfixer pop ups I will attache the logs requested from Hijack this and bitdefender and activescan. I went the next step and found the vmonde/winfixer removal scan and it came up with nothing.:(
    Please help if you have time. Thanks so much. I am determined to get the pest off of my computer.

    I ran the vundofix scan again and it did not give me a report. I just got a window saying there were no infected files. I have not seen the winfixer pop up for awhile now--don't know it is it gone or not---My computer is real sluggish, which leads me to believe something is still infecting it. Find the lastest HiJack this log attached. Thanks so much.

    Download
    - Pocket Killbox
    - ExplorerXP

    Copy the contents of the below quote box to Notepad; Save As FixReg.reg to your Desktop. DO NOT run it as this time we will do that later in Safe Mode.
    Close Notepad.

    Now Run HijackThis. Click the 'Do a system scan only' button. Place a checkmark in the box next to the following lines:
    Click on the 'Fix checked' button. Wait for HijackThis to finish; close HijackThis.

    Now run Pocket Killbox:

    Choose Tools -> Delete Temp Files and click the RED X.

    Run Killbox.exe. Paste the below filenames into KILL BOX one at a time. Check mark the box that says "Delete on Reboot" and checkmark the box "Unregister DLL" (If available) Click the RED X and it will ask you to confirm the file for deletion say YES and when the next box opens prompting you to reboot now...click NO...and proceed with the next file. Once you get to the last one click YES and it will reboot. Note many of the file list below may not exist but we need to check for them anyway.
    If Killbox does not reboot or you get a Pending Operations type error message just reboot your PC yourself.

    Now boot into SAFE MODE

    Open Explorer XP navigate to and DELETE the following: (Some of these may have already been deleted by Pocket Killbox)
    Locate FixReg.reg on your Desktop. Double-click on it and answer 'Yes' when asked if you want to merge with the registry.

    Now run CCleaner. If you have Windows XP delete the contents of C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch.

    Then, as an added precaution, Go to Start -> Run and type: cleanmgr and then click OK. Make sure the boxes for these are checked:
    Temporary Files
    Temporary Internet Files
    Recycle Bin


    And Click OK.

    REBOOT to Normal Mode.

    Post a fresh HijackThis log.

    I did as you said--didn't run Windows xp as I did not have it downloaded in the safe mode. Attached in the new HijackThis log. Thanks so much.

    Your HijackThis log appears to be clean.

    How is your computer running?

    My computer is running well. No more winfixer warnings poping up and it is scrolling and opening windows normally again. I reset the system restore and I switched to Firefox as a browser. Thanks so much for all your help. You are my hero. I definitely will contribute donations to all the programs I used as I appreciate the makers and suppliers so much.
