FreeFixer for Windows
Posted by cotojo on September 27, 2007
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 start when you reboot your computer, your browser’s plug-ins, and your home page setting.
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.Â
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 also save log file of your scan result and consult the  FreeFixer helper forums.
There is also an in-depth user manual online here
FreeFixer is freeware and Windows 2000/XP/2003 compatible.

Kevin – Thanks for passing by, any feedback on software such as this is always appreciated.
I’ve run it through a couple of my computers and it has found a few that others have missed, but they do all vary on their search pattern.

Looks like very handy piece of security software. I’ll give it a whirl and see if it finds anything.
