I'm having a random message pop up on my screen every now and then that says WinFixer 2005 is necessary to help my computer run. Then it prompts me to download WinFixer 2005 and when I click the X button to completely exit out of the window it starts to try and automatically download Win Fixer 2005. I'm not sure if Win Fixer 2005 is an actual program or some form of virus that is trying to infect my computer. Lately my computer has been having some trouble with the monitor booting up. Sometimes it won't boot up at all. The computer starts up but the monitor won't turn on. I'm not sure if this is a technical problem or if this is a side effect of a virus. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. In addition I've been trying to delete a program from my computer that I had to use for my Business class. It's called SAM 2003 but when I try to delete it from ADD/REMOVE programs it doesn't delete it. Please help me!
Download [but do *NOT* yet run] FixVundo from
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/FixVundo.exe
[we'll have you run it later]
Note: If you have previously download this file on another occasion, please download it again, to be absolutely sure you have the most current version.
********************
Next, download VirtumundoBeGone from:
http://secured2k.home.comcast.net/tools/VirtumundoBeGone.exe
* Save it to your Desktop
* Close all running programs (including your Internet Browser)
* Double-click VirtumundoBeGone.exe on the desktop
* Follow the directions as indicated
please be advised that this program will generate a "BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH"... this is an expected/necessary part of the process, so don't be surprised when it happens.
just reboot if your system "jams"
*********************
After rebooting, it's now time to run FixVundo (which you had downloaded earlier).
Make sure all other programs, including your Internet Browser, are closed.
Double-click the FixVundo.exe file to start the removal tool.
Click Start to begin the process, and then allow this tool to run.
Important: Do not launch any new applications while the tool is running!
Reboot your computer.
Run the FixVundo removal tool again to ensure that the system is clean.

It's now time to report back to us
