Yes and No ... I can't be sure ... so before attempting any cleaning
actions , check your computer with these two reputable free online scanners:
Panda Software free Active Scan
http://www.activescan.com
Kaspersky free online scanner
http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner
!!!!! Before running the scanners , do this :
Goto Control Panel-> Internet Options
General Tab
There you'll see where you can delete cookies , temporary i-net files ,
history
Delete them all .
Control Panel -> Folder options
View tab
Check "Show hidden files and folders"
Now goto My Computer-> Local disk -> Documents and Settings -> *USER* ->
Local Settings -> Temp
and delete all files in this temp folder !!!
If Panda and/or Kaspersky find WinFixer , run David's tool
or visit my web-site and perform the instructions to remove malware
