I had winfixer before and "VundoFix" program solved the problem.\nDownload Vundofix from atribune.org\nhttp://www.atribune.org/content/view/24/2/\n\nAlso like what the lady said above, run ad-awareSE, plus spybot search and destroy, ewido anti malware. \nRun any antivirus (activescan panda, mcafee freescan) later on.\n\nDon't forget to update your java and windows as well.

Common problem. Re-install windows and never, ever install that rubbish again. Like their spam filter, useless.

I'm not sure.   the .exe at the end shows its a executable progam and would run something if you clicked oon it (or its already running)  i would guess winfunc  to stand for windows function...  it might be a progam that needs to access the internet to work.  I dont think it would be a virus or spyware, but dont quote me on that

i'm not familiar with that particular pop-up blocker, but i can tell you this though, everytime you wanna open a program or a window, press "ctrl" and hold while clicking on the that porgram or window. then it should open, or just disable the pop-up blocker.

I did a Google search and it listed that executable (icpldrvx) and a spyware/malware.  Sound like you might have a hijacked browser.

I think this could be a kind of spyware or Trojan.  Or just an update for windows.\nThe best thing to do is to use a virus checker with a spyware search built in - if this comes up clear then windows is legitinatly updating itself, it it says this installer is a trojan or spyware then you should try to get rid of it ASAP.

I use a combination of Ewido anti-malware, Spybot S&D, and AdAware personal.  These can all be downloaded from www.majorgeeks.com.  I also use Google's toolbar - very excellent pop-up blocker.  Download it by going to www.google.com, clicking More, and choosing it from the list.

Take a look here:\nhttp://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win...\n\nI would also recommend you run a virus and spyware scan in windows safe mode. (To run windows safe mode go to start > run and type msconfig. Go to boot.ini and check safeboot. Ditto and then uncheck to get out of safe mode)\n\n\nSorry for the bad link earlier.

Winfixer is a program that can easily become installed on your computer even if you don't want it.  It's basically pushed onto you beceause the sites that are doing the pushing make commission from every sale made.\n\nWinfixer is modelled and marketed on anti-virus and anti-spyware/adware programs but unlike the legitimate programs it blows out of all proportion any risk it identifies.  Whereas a genuine program might identify a minor risk and simply ignore or deal with it, Winfixer presents you with a warning that makes it sound like world war 3 is about to break out on your computer.  The hope is that this will scare you into buying the fully functioning paid for version.\n\nFrom what I've read of Winfixer it seems likely that it contains spyware, adware and other unwanted wares, read these reviews from download.com... http://www.download.com/WinFixer-2006/3640-2086_4-10508757.html?tag=tab_ur  \n\nThere's lots of tools available for getting rid of WinFixer and some are better than others.  I've included a link below to PC World where you'll find all sorts of spyware and adware programs reviewed... http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,22262,00.asp \n\nIf you want to manually remove it the instructions can be found here... http://www.spywaredb.com/remove-winfixer/\n\nWith regard to the pop-ups you're getting: programs that are installed on your computer can generate their own pop-ups and because they're coming from your computer as opposed to the internet, they're not stopped by pop-up blockers.\n\nI couldn't say if it steals any confidential information but if it is loaded with spyware and adware then this is a possibility.\n\nMy advice is the same as that from those in the know - get rid of it.

do u have a pop-up blocker??\nif so, disable it

This problem occurs because Microsoft thinks that any attempt from a website to essentially "download" files onto your computer is a threat. This message is essentially like an integrated pop-up blocker but in my experience it usually ends up blocking what I need to access to download a form of an update. What you need to do in order to get around it is click on the yellow bar and let IE know that it's ok to download and install the ActiveX controls from this site. Or get a better browser like Firefox. =)

You need an anti-virus and an anti-spyware program.\nThe pop-ups are perhaps resulted some spyware activity. Visit the links below.

your actual problem is not the popups but what is causing them. you need to install a spyware remove (Ad-Aware and Spybot are two free ones I recommend). Those will kill the programs causing the pop ups. Then install Firefox, it will block pop ups that are caused by the sites you visit.
