How do I get rid of WINFIXER 2005 on my computer? I am so tired of the popup and telling me that I have to install it. I've tried installing microsoft antispyware and pest control spyware. Each have detected it and said they removed it, but it is still popping up. It says I have not completed the scan for errors. I am so tired of this! I am not computer savvy. Is there an easy way to get rid of it? ThanksTry removing it in safe mode (F8 at boot). Is system restore active?I'm not sure what that means, can you put it into computer idiot language?Turn off system restore, press F1 on desktop and search for how. (This is a learning experience.)Then reboot in safe mode by PRESSING F8 a few times when the computer starts, before the Windows logo. Run your scans from there. After removed, reboot and turn system restore back on.Since Winfixer is considered SCUMWARE it is particularly hard to get rid of.
First thing i WOULD do is DLoad and update Ewido which is a trojan scanning program.
Make sure you update it first and when you run it let it remove/fix everything it finds that it doesn't like.

Then we can move on to the next steps if it's still there...
