Aha! Winfixer, eh? Nasty little devil but too difficult to remove if you follow these steps:
(note: copy any important photos, data, files etc to a CD)
Follow the instructions below exactly, be patient and I guarantee it will work.
Create Win98 boot if U dont have one. Search web or use link for smartdrv.exe then get it going dude.
INFO: Windows XP Clean Installation from Dos
What You Need:
* Windows XP CD
* Windows 98 Or Millennium Start-up Disk.
* Smartdrv.exe Which Can Be Downloaded HERE http://gktronics.topcities.com/smartdrv.... If Needed.
Copy smartdrv.exe To Your Start-up Disk.
Boot With Start-up Disk And Format Your Hard Disk.
Type smartdrv.exe And Enter at The A:\> prompt.
You Must Load Smartdrv.exe or You Will Be Setting Up
For the Next 3 Days!
Type e: And Enter, assuming Your CD Drive Letter Is "E".
Now Type cd i386 And Enter, Then winnt And Enter.
Follow The Installation Instructions. It Will Look As
Though Your Computer Has Hanged, But Let It Run!
In Some Cases It Will Say It Can't Read Certain Files,
That's Ok Because Dos Can't Read The New File Types.
Hit esc Till Finished. The Files Can Be Added Later.
It Might, At Some Point Say It Can’t Find Certain Files.
That’s Because Dos Put The Installation Files In A Temp
Directory In The Beginning. Hit esc Till Done.
After XP Has Started, Click "Start" Then "Run".
Be Sure Your Windows XP CD Is Still In The Drive.
Type cmd And Enter. Now Type cd\windows\system32 And Enter.
Finally Type sfc /scanall.
The Files That Couldn't Be Copied Will Now Be Installed.
And..guess what: XP is right there in front of you - minus WINFIXER - and you will notice how faster the PC responds too.
Enjoy!

Winfixer requires a very specific removal tool/protocol. In addition, your system may have other malware issues beyond Winfixer to contend with. Due to the limited nature of what can be done here in this format to help you, I would recommend you visit an on-line tech support site for help. Two free sites (all you need do is register) for help would be Cyber Tech Help and Tech Support Guy. You can Google them for the actual links. Both have Security forums where you can post this problem and get the help you'll need. Good luck!

Winfixer is a bit of malware software that gets automatically installed when you visit some websites.
Winfixer is a bit of a strange one as the pop ups that it creates try to get you to purchase their software to remove spywhere !!
It is easily removed, I would suggest installing adaware (which is free) and also BHO demon (also free) between the 2 of these you will be able to detect and remove most of the spywhere and malwhere that comes your way !!!!
couple of links below as well relating to winfixer.

Hi, you can try firefox browser.
it can block any annoying popup ads. it can prevent most of the virus in the webpage, as you know, most of the virus is spread through internet.
Download firefox for free:
