Re: How Can I Remove Winfixer 2005

combining MS antispyware, Zone Alarm Suite and some specific anti winfixer tool cleared it up.
For those who experienced it, you might have noticed that every button except Alt F4 resulted in it installing something, and using Alt F4 closed webrats as well. Simply clicking on "cancel" did not stop it, sadly.
utterly evil advert, nearly made me stop loving webrats

Re: How Can I Remove Winfixer 2005

yeah hitting cancel once didn't stop it.. but everytime that window popped up i hit cancel.. and it stopped.. was like 3 or 4 times.. not sure what it was and it was kinda rediculous that spyware is getting this rampant.

anyhow good that you got it cleared up.
