Part 1 - Do the preliminary cleanup steps from here:

Part 2 - Run David Lipman's tool:
Download WinFixerFix.exe from -
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/WinFixerFix.exe
Execute c:\mcafee\clean.bat (or Double-click on 'Clean Link' in c
\mcafee)

Here are other methods of removing WinFixer if the above two things
don't work:

Double-click VundoFix.exe to extract the files. This will create a
VundoFix folder on your desktop. After the files are extracted, please
restart your computer into Safe Mode. Once in safe mode open the
VundoFix folder and double-click on KillVundo.bat
