    I keep getting this winfixer thing popping up and i dont know how to keep it away. It makes my internet run slow because it already runs slow loading internet explorer and this is a popup that makes it run slow at random times. I have tried adaware but it does not help (it picks up alot of stuff sometimes though) +rep for anyone that actually helps me. This is a screenshot, The popup message is what shows up and if i exit it out the screen in the back pops up.

    Download HiJackThis (latest versions) and post a logfile at castlecops.com Trust me, programs can only go far but with HJT you can get rid of it.

    So im gonna go on a Windows 98 that i cannot download photoshop cs2? Cmon be logical, we can use our laptops at home so i am using them, they have a decent graphics card and it is much better than my windows 98. Rockstar, are you a freaking idiot, I said i already have adaware, it does nothing I already have google toolbar it is auto on the computer and i just explained why i dont use my computer. I think i am just going to backup everything and do a system restore.

    Besides ad aware try spybot search and destroy. Just search for it at download.com.
