Software Description

FreeFixer is a general purpose removal tool which will help you to delete potentially unwanted software, such as adware, spyware, trojans, viruses and rootkits. FreeFixer works by scanning a large number of locations where unwanted software has a known record of appearing or leaving traces. The scan locations include the programs that run on your computer, the programs that starts when you reboot your computer, your browser's plug-ins, your home page setting, etc.

FreeFixer does not know which the bad files and settings are, so the scan result will contain items you want to keep and perhaps some that you want to remove. It's up to you to decide. Please be careful! If you delete a legitimate file you may damage your computer. To assist you when determining if anything should be removed you can find more information at FreeFixer's web site for each item in the scan result. You can for example see what other users chose to do in the same situation. You can also save log file of your scan result and consult the volunteers in one of the FreeFixer helper forums.

Once the scan is finished FreeFixer will display the scan results for each category. The categories are Browser Helper Objects, Internet Explorer toolbars, processes, etc. Your job is to decide if anything should be removed. This task is difficult if you don't have any previous experience with removing unwanted software. To assist you with this task you can click the "more info" links for each item in the scan result, which will open the FreeFixer web site with additional information about the item. You will for example see if other users chose to keep or remove a particular item in the scan result. You can also help other users by saying if you decided to keep or remove the item in the scan result. SHELL32.DLL and browseui.dll are two examples on what can appear when using the "more info" links. Please keep in mind that removing a legitimate file may damage your computer, so if you are unsure about some items in the scan result, it is probably better to keep them.

If you are a first time user you will probably find the "A typical case of spyware removal" document posted at the blog section useful. It serves as an example on how to identify and remove spyware using FreeFixer and some best practices on how to avoid removing legitimate files.

Even though the information on FreeFixer's web site offer some input if a file should be kept or removed you may want to ask an experienced user about your scan result. There are volunteers on the FreeFixer Helper forums that help users to analyse FreeFixer log files. They will ask you to copy and paste your FreeFixer log into your first post on the forum. You can save a FreeFixer log by clicking the "Save log" button, then double-click the log file and copy the contents.

For each item that you want to remove or repair, check the box to the left of the item, then click the "Fix" button.
