I keep on receiving WinFixer and clone popups (clones: ErrorSafe, WinAntivirusPro2007, etc.). Though I have Ad-Aware and AVG Free, it still does not completely remove the trojan, does anyone know how to completely remove this problem? Thank you.

XoftSpy SE can easily remove this threats.
Try to make free scan (removal is not free 🙁 )
Also you can try to remove it using manual removal instructions

That Winfixer / Winantivirus Pro is a Vundo trojan.
SuperAntiSpyware should get rid of it. Download, update, and run in safe mode:

If SAS doesn’t remove it, here is a Vundo fix with instructions:

I would use SmitFraudFix http://siri.geekstogo.com/SmitfraudFix.php
Follow the instructions exactly. This should get rid of it.
This link has software to remove WinFixer pop-ups:

Ok this is it Belarc Advisor! download it its free and no crap, locate the trojan via it in software installed on your system (bottom or page) click the location and you will be sent to file DELETE it and restart, should do it I know I had to do this to my husbands computer as nothing else worked and make sure you empty recycle bin!
This is not a problem at all. Here’s what you need to do.
1st, don’t waste your time with AVG, spybot, ad aware, CA, spyhunter, superantispyware, avast, panda, kaspersky, spyware blaster, spyware guard, windows defender or anything of the sort. Stay away from anything that is FREE when it comes to spyware and antivirus. There is a reason why they free. They are NOT good.
2nd, You need some of the best software out there. Norton Systemworks is very good. That’s the only good software from Norton. I wouldn’t recommend Norton Internet security, its not that great. Now the best software you should get is Spysweeper with Anti-virus, this software is too good and gets better everyday. This is Elite software. It blocks over 433,000 definition threats, which contain several fringerprints with each(you can do the math). No other software can compete with that or come close for that matter. It catches everything and has active shields. I’ve used them all and it is 2nd to none.
3rd, after you install and update the software, since its in your system you will have to turn off system restore and then go into safe mode and run the scan and eliminate the virus. then after removal, reboot and turn system restore back on.
4th, (Optional) I recommend a Firewall from Zone Alarm, their free version is so good. Or you can buy their Pro version, but the free version will do more than the job.
5th, any probs during or after you do all this, send me an e-mail or IM. I guarenDAMNtee my answers and will help you in person from IM if needed.
