Post; Winfixer strikes back. Adware have become more malicious


Winfixer has returned. But this time the mal-ware has been recently tapping into personal computers, installing the program without the owner's consent and also infiltrating into the registry attracting more unwanted ad-ware and spy-ware

Many of the latest Anti-Virus and Anti-Adware programs are not able to detect any of the spware and requires technical support.
