how do I get rid of winfixer pop-up?

WinFixer is a computer program that claims to have the ability to repair any computer system problem. However, due to its aggressive and incessant displaying of popup notifications; dubious installation (installing itself without the user's permission), and advertisements of other products, WinFixer is generally regarded as a bogus adware program. The popup ads constantly display inconsistent notifications to convince the user that something may be amiss with the computer, and WinFixer will be able to fix it, for a price.\n\nDue to these problems, WinFixer could possibly be spyware or malware; however, no authoritative determination has yet been made. However, some computers infected with this program exhibit sluggish performance.\n\nWinFixer's claim:\n\nWinFixer 2005 is useful utility to scan and fix any system, registry and hard drive errors. It ensures system stability and performance, frees wasted hard drive space and recovers damaged Word, Excel, music and video files.\n\nIn reality, nothing seems to show that WinFixer does any of these things.\n\n______________________________...\nI got this spyware and was sooo annoyed, it was about popup every 3 minutes so I got a free Etrust subscription...\n\nIt seems that winfixer is from somewhere in Russia, and is a scam to get your credit card number and personal identifacation illegaly. I made a complaint call...but they didn't say anything...So whatever you do DONT BUY WINFIXER

Are you using Internet Explorer? (That's what I use so that's the best way I know to explain it.) If so, go under the "Tools" menu and select "Pop-Up Blocker", then pick "Turn Off Pop-Up Blocker". Just remember that you may want to turn it back on later to block unwanted pop-ups!

If you are using IE7, go to tools--->pop-up blocker--->Turn off pop-up blocker.\n\nIf you are using firefox, go to tools--->option--->content--->uncheck the box written with block pop-up windows.\n\nHope that helps!

Keep the CTRL key pressed when you hit POPUP linx. That'll bypass the popup blocker temporarily.\n\nDepending on what popup blocker you use, please adjust the setting.

This means winfixer has been installed on your computer. You can check add/remove programs but I doubt you will find it. If you do, uninstall. If not, you can install adware-virtumundo removal tool. It is suggested by McAfee. You can find the link to it at http://forums.mcafeehelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=57049
