    I have been having problems with Winfixer popups for a while now. I have tried running several tools (CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot, MS AntiSpyware, Ewido) but nothing seems to clean this thing out. I have tried running the tools in Safe Mode, but that did not work and I even got popups while in Safe Mode.

    I have attached a HJT log from my latest scan.

    Can anyone help me?

    This is the second thread you have, do not start a new thread for this problem. Stay in one thread and post here from now on.

    Please follow standard cleanup procedures as given below:

    - Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal

    Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.

    - Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.


    After doing ALL of the above and you still have a problem, make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps below:



    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the ZIP file as your backups will not be safely stored.

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gifBefore running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gifRun HijackThis and save your log file.

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next post. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post as it will be removed).

    I ran all the tools listed in the Basic Spyware thread as well as Microsoft AntiSpyware and Ewido.

    Here is my HJT log from a scan I ran afterwards

    Please download the following tools...

    L2MeFix Tool

    Generic Detection Tool - NT/2000/XP

    Pocket KillBox


    Please move the L2MeFix Tool to your Desktop and DoubleClick l2mfix.exe. Click the Install button to extract the files and follow the prompts, then open the newly added l2mfix Folder on your Desktop. DoubleClick l2mfix.bat and type 2 and ENTER to select option #2 for Run Fix. Then, press any key to Reboot your machine.
    Your computer will go crazy for a bit, but just let it run. It should eventually spit out a log in Notepad. Please attach that log along with a fresh HJT log.

    Please don't run any other files in the L2MFix folder.
