Windows 7 Fix is almost the same malware as Windows XP Fix which will also pretend to be a powerful PC optimization tool. Windows 7 Fix will continuously give you hard drive error reports that will return nothing else but completely fake results that are expected to make you purchase this scam. Please, never believe the problems announced on Windows 7 Fix messages! These should be only ignored in order to prevent more damage done to your machine. Additionally, you must remove Windows 7 Fix before it lets more viruses inside and steals your money together with credit card details. If you notice it, launch updated Spyware Doctor immediately and remove Windows 7 Fix without any delay.

Windows 7 Fix is all about deceiving PC users. It reports multiple hard drive problems found on your computer and then asks you to make a payment to get them fixed. This trick is quite usual between such scams and it can be easily said that all those ‘errors’ found by Windows 7 Fix are non-existent. To make you fall into this lie even more, this scamware deletes shortcuts found in various locations, so when trying to launch a program from your start menu, none of shortcuts appear. So, normally, you would think that something is really wrong with your computer. To push you into thinking that PC is bundled, this scam says on its alerts:

SYMPTOMS OF rogue antispyware INFECTION

Rogue AntiSpyware virus enters your PC without your consent or using some sort of social engineering trick. Fake scanner pages, malicious mail attachments or system vulnerabilities are often used.

Virus has a single goal: to gain money. Like other rogue anti-spyware applications, it will try to convince you that your system is infected with multiple parasites: trojans, adware, or other rogues. Typically, rogues do not provide enough detail about infections detected or show fake results. Rogue anti-spyware like Windows 7 Fix will not clean any actual infections for free.

Most of the parasites of this type do not have parasite detection engine thus every warning they show is a random one. If you see persistent popups or alerts, you can safely discard them.

You should never pay for Rogue Anti-spyware application like Windows 7 Fix as it funds development of other computer parasites.
