Pop-Ups

[mattbryant4]

Hi

I have a problem with pop-ups on my pc, i have pop-up blocking software, Ad-Aware Pro, MS spyware, and Norton internet security, but i still get pop-ups, when my pc boots up the first thing that loads up is the dialog box from IE asking me to connect to the net (the standard on like when you open IE) but with a different Icon in the top left, i have now identified this as a program called WinFixer but i have never installed this and cannot delete it, my spyware software finds this software and identifies it as a treat but wont get rid of it. i dont know if WinFixer is causing my popups or not,

Thanks
