Hi Guys,

My Laptop has a Trogan.Vundo Winfixer virus that I have been unable to remove, and it is slowing down my laptop. I have Ewino Anti-virus, Hijack this and Ad-Aware. If you need me to run them and send you the logs, will be more than happy to do so.
Thanks a bunch,

There is a very easy and free fix for this. Norton does NOT work.

go to www.spysweeper.com and download their free 14-day trial. It works.

I was frustrated with inability to remove WinFixer 2005 popups that continually told me that I had to download their product. Symantec, Norton don't do it. I read here of others with same situation. I tried their recommendation with Spy Sweeper 4.5 by Webroot (trial version). It worked like a charm, and, it removed 4 other adware items. My hard drive is clean as a whistle, in seconds. I gladly bought Spy Sweeper!
