   That last answer was a good one. If you do all that and it still comes back, what you need to do is this.

   Go to http://www.download.com and get Spybot Search and Destroy as well as Ad-Aware

   After you download and install these two programs turn your computer off.

   When you turn it back on, tap on the F8 key. It will bring you to a boot menu. Choose Safe Mode, then continue to boot up.

   Now, Run Spybot Search and Destroy. Fix any problems it finds.

   Run Ad-Aware. It will find things. Remove them, then run the program again. Re-run this program until nothing is found.

   Go to Start>>Run and type msconfig.
   Choose selective start up and uncheck load start-up items.
   reboot
   If you have an anti-virus program, run it now.
   If you don’t, go to housecall.trendmicro.com and run the free virus scan. Allow it to fix what it finds.

   go to start>>Run and type msconfig
   Choose normal startup.
   Reboot.

   You should be rid of it now. If not, you probably will need the help of someone right there at your side.

   Oh, and keep these programs after downloaded. They are excellent and updatable. And if you don’t have an anti-virus program, get one.

   Go to the start menu/search, find ALL winfixer references, and thow them in the trash can, but don’t empty it until you restart, s, and make sure everything is working ok, then search again to see if it reloads it’s self, and see if it live in the prefetch file. By the way, thanks for the warning, I won’t be using that crappy program!
