Re: WinFixer 2005

From: "Trent" <Trent@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

| David,
| I read a thread in this news forum last night (but can't find it now) that
| said I should not click on the "cancel" or the "x" in the top right hand
| corner of the first Winfixer pop-up that occurs. It said I should stop it in
| the task manager, which is control-alt-delete. But am I supposed to find the
| winfixer program in the "applications tab" or in the "processes tab". And
| what would the process file be that I would want to delete, or "end process"?
|
| Thanks in advance.
|
| And by the way, are you in any way affiliated with Winfixer, winsoftware,
| winsoft, or any developer of these winfixer/winantispyware/winantivirus
| products?
|

Click on the 'x' in the Top Right corner or hitting Ctrl-Alt-Del and killing IEXPLORE.EXE
and of the following seen running...

uwfx5.exe
wfx5.exe
UWFX5NetInstaller.exe
8355.exe
196_150_NI.EXE
install.exe
logfont.exe
sr.exe
riak.exe
unins000.exe
updater.exe
minst[1].exe
riqzcju.exe
sspggd.exe
eqwxzb.exe
wayftxi.exe
xau.exe

Part 2
------------
Download WinFixerFix.exe from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/WinFixerFix.exe

Execute; WinFixerFix.exe { Note: You must accept the default of C:\McAfee }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to enable WGET.EXE to download the needed McAfee related files.

Execute; c:\mcafee\clean.bat
{ or Double-click on 'Clean Link' in c:\mcafee }

A final report in HTML format called C:\mcafee\ScanReport.HTML will be generated. At the
end of the scan, it will be displayed in your browser (Opera, FireFox or Internet Explorer).
It is suggested that you move the report out of c:\mcafee before performing another scan.
It would be a good idea to scan in Safe Mode and in Normal Mode and save a copy of the HTML
report for each session.

* * Please report back your results * *
