winfixer, 888.com, and loads of other popups
I have something which produces pop-ups when I start up either IE or Firefox.
All of the following give my PC a clean bill of health:
Spybot
MS AntiSpyWare
XoftSpy ( I even paid money! )
AdAware personal
They are clearly all wrong.
This is a sophisticated operation - in USA it pops up ads for American goods and services. In UK, for UK ones ( I bin travellin' ) The advertisers (seem to ) include O2, hotel chains, air ticket companies ... all apparently respectable businesses. Why the hell are they supporting this sort of abuse ?
Anyway I'd love to get rid of it, but I'm not, yet prepared to download things which say "cure winfixer popups" from the internet from companies I've never heard of... seems to me I'm as likely to gain an infection as lose one.
So can you help me root this one out, please?
