WinFix

[newbienthehouse]

I have a problem with an Adware program called WinFix 2005. What I know of it, it keeps causing pop-ups to install it. I've ran McAfee Antispyware, Ad-aware, and Spybot, none of which picks this program up. I have a HijackThis log if that helps. Right now I'm running Windows XP SP2. Thanks for your help.

Spybot and Ad Aware is overrated

MS Anti-Spyware is better and Spysweeper is better than anything else. As much as I hate thurrots reviews I know you think he's a god so I'd like to point out he says MS anti spy is good but Webroot is the best.

CounterSpy is, as far as i remember from PCWorld and PC Magazine, the highest rated spyware remover out there. It is only free for 15 days but that should get rid of your spyware. I have used spybot, M$, ad aware, webroot and many more. After i did scans with all of them, which i will point out that after one was done and said clean the next said it found some more, counterspy had found and removed more than any other scan. So I would advise you make sure it is your statement that you say webroot is the best cause there are always alternative out there. I have found that Counterspy found the most and removed the most therefor i would recommed it to most people. But for the most part the combination of M$, sppybot and ad aware will get about 90-95% of the spyware. Only Hijack This! and CounterSpy have i found to delete all spyware. But Hijack This is for more advanced users.

They're gone for now

Thanks for your help with the adware programs. I downloaded the trial version of CounterSpy and cleaned out my system. A question about CounterSpy, if I uninstall it and then reinstall it will I get another 15 days of updates? Also I would like to know what Anti-Spyware program is the best out there today. Thanks for your help.
