win fixer is a scan that cleans your computer
Win fixer is a malware which pretends to be a diagnostic tool.
it is spyware, you can get rid of it with spybot probably, if not the ewido security. download the 30 day free trial, and let it rip
Sounds like spyware. Go to spywareinfo.com then run the "Online Spyware Scanner" on the left-hand side of the page. It’s FREE!
No, really, it is FREE!
Winfixer is a program that can easily become installed on your computer even if you don’t want it. It’s basically pushed onto you beceause the sites that are doing the pushing make commission from every sale made.
Winfixer is modelled and marketed on anti-virus and anti-spyware/adware programs but unlike the legitimate programs it blows out of all proportion any risk it identifies. Whereas a genuine program might identify a minor risk and simply ignore or deal with it, Winfixer presents you with a warning that makes it sound like world war 3 is about to break out on your computer. The hope is that this will scare you into buying the fully functioning paid for version.
From what I’ve read of Winfixer it seems likely that it contains spyware, adware and other unwanted wares, read these reviews from download.com… http://www.download.com/WinFixer-2006/3640-2086_4-10508757.html?tag=tab_ur
There’s lots of tools available for getting rid of WinFixer and some are better than others. I’ve included a link below to PC World where you’ll find all sorts of spyware and adware programs reviewed… http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,22262,00.asp
If you want to manually remove it the instructions can be found here… http://www.spywaredb.com/remove-winfixer/
My advice is the same as that from those in the know – get rid of it.
