System Fix

What is System Fix?

System Fix is dangerous rogue spyware or “scareware”. It is designed to overwhelm you with simulated scans and fake warnings that your computer is infected with various malware. The reason for this is to scare you into buying bogus software by making you believe that only the full version of System Fix can remove these infections, when in fact, System Fix IS the infection.

Additional Information:

Methods of Infection:

System Fix is installed via a Trojan typically from questionable websites (i.e. pornography or gambling), but it has also been found on hijacked fake news websites and in torrent downloads.

Previous Versions:

System Fix comes from the same family of rogues that include Check Disk and Ultra Defragger

What it Does:

System Fix will bombard your computer with numerous fake spyware alerts and scans in an attempt to lure you into purchasing the full version, which is nothing more than a hoax as System Fix is not legitimate software and is actually a spyware infection. System Fix can also hijack your web browser and redirect your search results to pages of its choosing, where you will likely encounter more fake alerts and spyware related warnings.

The larger threat that System Fix poses however, is that it can download and install key-loggers and other more severe malware that can log your keystrokes, websites visited, etc. and can send that information over the internet to a remote server where the hacker that created System Fix will then use that information in an attempt to gain access to your credit cards, bank accounts, and numerous other sensitive personal information – and may ultimately end up stealing your identity
