I installed the Microsoft Anti-spyware Beta program and deleted several
pieces of software but I continue to see the Winfixer pop-ups. Should this
have taken care of this nusance?

wo phase answer...

Perform Part 1 the perform part 2

Part 1
------------
Download Adware-Virtumundo Removal Tool v1.5 --
http://secured2k.home.comcast.net/tools/VirtumundoBeGone.exe

Information on the Adware-Virtumundo Removal Tool:
http://forums.mcafeehelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=57049

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 Copy and Paste the contents of the HTML Log file;
C:\mcafee\ScanReport.HTML in your
reply.

The scan says it has eliminated Winfixer.
I followed the sequence of steps. Where does the Adware-Virtumundo Removal
Tool fit into this? I never saw an instruction to "run" this program.

I cannot post the log file now because the desktop longer shows anything
that allows me to go to where the file is. I think I need to restart before
this can occur.

It's the combination of both tools to make sure the malware has been emoved.

The McAfee logs shows that you are indeed clean now.
