   i don’t think it can steal data itself, but it can install additional spyware data stealers.

   WinFixer is a dangerous rogue anti-spyware program. WinFixer can install itself without your knowledge when visiting certain websites, or it may be packaged with freeware. It displays deceptive pop-up ads that have the appearance of system alert messages which are unassociated with any software, and prompts you to purchase WinFixer to fix a reported system problem. It is srongly recomended to remove this malware from your computer.
