I keep getting a very annoying pop-up for Winfix or Winfixit. Telling me that "I have
registry problems" and wanting me to install this software. Anyone know how to remove this
pop-up?

Umm...have you tried using a popup and ad blockers? Disabling
ActiveX and JavaScripts? Or simply avoiding those sites that
continually use these "adverts"?
