I recieved some help on this a couple of WEEKS ago when I was trying to get winfixer off my fathers computer...now I've got the stupid thing. I'm wondering....the program seems to have installed itself (With one of my kids help) and when I got to the computer today I see it has finished running a scan on my computer. I tried to use its uninstall program and of course I get taken to a website where they want mt to fill out a questionarre and to reboot before I can uninstall. Should I assume they want me to reboot so they can finish the installation of the program? To register dll's and such? Is there a way to get rid of this pest without 300 steps? Is this program actually a legitimate scanner? Please!!!! I've got work to do and I don't have weeks to get rid of this *censored* thing.
Thanks

dl65  I'm using XP.....and I would use the registry search if I knew what I was searching for :-/You are searching for Winfixer.Didn't mean to sound completely stupid...just wondered if there was something more SPECIFIC to search forType the full name. You do not want to accidently remove entries that are called "Win" or "Fix" alone..
