Do I have winfixer?

[TomStewart]

I foolishly clicked on a link in a forum - I never get pop-ups but I did this time, from winfixer. I just closed the pop-up without pressing any buttons. I did have a first-ever system failure soon after that.

Spybot detected the cookie, and I deleted and barred it using Mozilla's cookie manager. Since then I've had no problems.

Hi Tom and welcome to the forum. Since your HJT log is very outdated it appears that you did not read the Sticky information at the top of the forum, especially this one:
http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288 Please review them all and then post an updated log using version 1.99.1. Please place that log here: C:\HJT\Hijackthis.exe. I will respond as soon as possible after you post.

Thanks...pskelley

[TomStewart]

Apologies for that - however, I work a long way from home and only get back at weekends - I'll update HJT and run the scan again when I next get home.

Hi Tom, I see no evidence of Winfixer or any other malware in this log. Are you having any malware issues? You log actually looks good. I can start some scans if wish looking for stuff HJT might not see but I can't promise we will find anything. A couple of things I notice.

1) If you use Adobe you are outdated and version 7 is available

2) Check your scheduler, Java is outdated and a security issue.

Cheers and thanks for your help. Better safe than sorry.

I try very hard to keep it problem-free. The winfixer2005 pop-up was unprecedented, as was the system crash. So I thought I'd better check it out.

As the problem appears to be resolved this topic will be archived.
