Graham Davies Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I don't know if this is just a coincidence or not, but each time that I access the Education Forum the annoying WinFixer pop-up window appears inviting me to download and run WinFixer. I immediately lock Internet access each time this happens and run a clean-up program on my computer and reboot. I've searched the Web for info on WinFixer. It appears to be a spyware/adware program that is hard to remove. Can anyone advise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek McMillan Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 The winfixer popup has also appeared on my screen but it does not seem to cause a problem for Linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 The winfixer popup has also appeared on my screen but it does not seem to cause a problem for Linux. It's now been blocked - no further pop ups should appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Podesta Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Me too! I wondered where it was coming from... I downloaded a programme that deleted it from my system - it's not just a popup associated with a particular site, it seems to be a script that runs on your system. Ed.
