-JaK- Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 It's a virus I think...in some ways My friend had this...I think when you go to uninstall it, it downloads the uninstallation program along with some kind of switch that starts the virus up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky17 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 WARNING - This program is a trojan downloader. Very dangerous as it downloads many viruses on your pc. Norton detected it. Other anti-virus software like pc-cillan did not detect it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigio Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 WinFixer 2005. I checked it out, and it's an official program. It means you have a virus or spyware, and your computer wants you to fix it, so I would suggest downloading it. From what I'm reading it's a really good program.

shallumstuart Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 no its not. it pretends to be a good program. if you click yes to install it doesnt work unless you pay for it. dont download it at all, its preying on silly people who think its good.
