there are several different varieties of winfixer  (vundo/virtumundo trojan, surfaccuracy, installers, stealth/rookit).   each version has a separate fix of its own.   the optimal thing for you to do is post a HiJackThis log in the hJT forum, so that we can determine which type of winfixer you have, and then, offer you the appropriate cure. 

[statistically speaking, odds are you have a vundo/virtumundo trojan, as this is by far the most common version]

What reg entry is bad or entries? Jack

We'd love to help you, but your log is unreadable.
Please delete your outdated version of HijackThis.
Please download HJT Installer from Here to your desktop.
If not available use this alternate link: Here

Click the Download button.
When the Trend Micro HJT install box appears, double click on the HJTInstall.exe.
Click on Install.

It will be installed by default here: C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis
A shortcut to the application will also be placed on your Desktop.
The program will open automatically after installation.
You can double-click the icon that was placed on the Desktop to run subsequent HijackThis scans or you can use the icon inside the folder.
The folder HijackThis is where you will find the HJT logs that you save. When you use the application to remove anything, you will also find the backup copies made by HJT inside this folder.

Close all open windows except HijackThis.
Click on " Do a system scan and save logfile" When the log pops up in Notepad copy and paste that file as a NEW MESSAGE on the HijackThis Board.

Before closing HJT, please click on the Analyze This button. "Analyze This" is for Trendmicro use, and does not mean "Analyze My Log". You must post on the forum in order to receive an analysis of your log.

Close the web page that appears and then close the program HJT.

Posting Your Log:

1. Just click the New Message button in the HijackThis forum here: http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board?board.id=si_hijack
to start your own thread requesting assistance.
2. In the Message Body window that opens, simply Right-Click and select Paste.
3. Please add text to describe your symptoms.
4. Include in the message subject line a description of your problem. For example, "Popups warning of infection".
5. Make certain you post the entire log by clicking the Preview Post link at the bottom of the window and comparing it to the log from your scan before you click Submit Post

** Note: "The box next to Automatically convert carriage returns to HTML line breaks" should be checked if that appears at the bottom of your Message Body when composing your post.


* DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or required.
