has anyone solved how to get rid of the winfixer spyware/virus?
It is impossible to get rid of. The discussion forums I have read pertaing to this
problem all lead you to buying a spyware program. I think this is a self perpetuating
trick to get people to buy spyware programs.
I have etrust pest control spyware remover and this does not work. I have paid for
telephone support/advice from them and they are struggling to find an answer.
