Bob Johns said "The most recent versions of Lavasoft's Ad-Aware claims to be
able to remove
WinFixer."
The first thing I did Bob was run Adaware after updating the data base and then
ran the Smart Scan. Winfixer remained on the computer, unfortunately.
Thanks for giving the reference to Aluria "When one of my computers got
infected a few months ago I received the following from Aluria Software...".
Aluria references running HijakThis in the involved procedure you cite. Did
you follow that entire procedure and did it "remove Winfixer"? It is the
part where you have to send HijakThis logs to a web master (forum) that I start
looking for another solution. I will check the List archives as Rich Koziol
suggested.
What is sort of "amazing" is that this is a very common problem affecting many,
many users. I would have thought that by "now" many spyware removal apps would
have added it to the spyware they look for and would have a built-in automatic
removal process. From the long manual procedure Aluria suggests this seems
to indicate that Winfixer is a very nasty, difficult spyware to get rid of.
