Actually…winifighter IS the virus. It’s just a malware. Try getting MalwareByte anti malware, it’s free. Run it in safemode. If this does not work, try to get a Remover, like this :

well most of the time, if you don’t have anti virus already installed, its a fake piece of software called rogue, this is just a virus it self, to get rid of them just scan and remove with malwarebytes in safe mode, read my article here. http://nazmaz.webs.com/apps/blog/show/1123937-how-to-remove-viruses-

IT WILL ERASE EVERTHING, AND MAKE THE LAPTOP LIKE NEW
What you have is a rogue (fake) application. It is an infection that needs to be removed. If you have a friend with a computer, you will need to download a program called malwarebytes.
The best way to do this is to get a flash drive and download the program. But you will need to also download the updates and put them on the flash drive too.
Downloading the updates may be a problem, I wasn’t able to quickly find them.
Reboot the computer into safe mode with the flash drive installed.
You want to go in SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING to attempt to get the updates after you install the program.
You can grab MalwareBytes from malwarebytes.org or from the following URL:

Good Luck!
