Winfixer

Hey this winfixer crap is all over my sisters computer. It is brand new like less than a month old and she managed to get this on it. I am down to the point where i am about to to a reinstall already. I have tried hijackthis, ad aware, and various other popular tools and no luck. Anyone know of a removal tool or anything for this crap. I think its the worse i've seen in a while.
