Before I go thru the HijackThis process per previous posts I'd like to know what HijackThis does and what posting the log will accomplish. Will seeing the log allow you to advise me on how to safely remove Winfixer and do it for free???

I need to get rid of the Winfixer extortionist scum from my PC. :(

THanks much!
 
"Will seeing the log allow you to advise me on how to safely remove Winfixer and do it for free???"

Yes exactly

First Make a new folder, example C:\AntiSpyWare
and download and unzip HijackThis , to that new folder.
This is necessary to ensure you have backups should anything go wrong
from here http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip
Double click HijackThis.exe, Hit None of the above, just start the program.
Hit Scan When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button. Press that, save the log somewhere, and please show us its contents.
Most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so do NOT fix anything yet.
If your not familur with zip/compresion programs get HijackThis.exe here
http://www.merijn.org/files/HijackThis.exe
 
Here's my log...please advise. Part 1

Hi

Fix with hijackthis these items

O20 - Winlogon Notify: khfde - C:\WINDOWS\system32\khfde.dll (file missing)
=========================

Are there any problems now ?
 
SideStep.lnk and hgdda.dll

I was able to delete SideStep.lnk, but I can't find hgdda.dll in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\. I know hgdda.dll does exist because when I use the full path C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\hgdda.dll I am prompted to open the file, but there is no way to delete the file when the file is open. Any suggestions? Thanks a million!
 
I fixed these items with hijackthis per your request...

I rebooted and...

...same deal with hgdda.dll. But, WinFixer doesn't come up anymore even after several reboots. Winfixer used to come up after reboot almost every time. Am I out of the woods? It appears so. I will just keep an eye out for WinFixer and will let you know if it comes up (fingers crossed that it doesn't). Now that I think I have Winfixer licked should an upgrade of McAfee help me avoid WinFixer moving forward. How to I avoid WinFixer in the future...I don't want to go thru this again. :-)

THANK YOU for your help!!!! I would have been screwed without you guys! Thank you!!!!!
 
Yes please do upgrade mcaffee if you intend to keep it

Any idea where you picked that up at ?
Install any new software that might have brought it in ?
Do this please
Download zipit.zip to your desktop, extract/unzip the files inside
open the folder and run zipit.bat, fallow the instructions.
http://downloads.subratam.org/Lon/zipit.zip
Thanks
 
No idea where I got Winfixer...

I don't recall any downloads or sites visited that could possibly have done this. I wish I did. What does zipit.zip do???
 
It will zip up a copy of IE's history index dat
I can then look at the links and try to get this thing to install from the wild
