and security. Windows 7 Fix enters your computer using a Trojan. Once Trojan is installed, Windows 7 Fix will display constant fake error messages and alerts to trick you into paying for a "full version" of this useless program. How Windows 7 Fix Along with a Trojan Carries Out Its Devious Plans Windows 7 Fix is downloaded and installed usually without the user's authorization with the assistance of a Trojan. Once installed, Windows 7 Fix makes changes to the Windows Registry to allow Windows 7 Fix to start up automatically when Windows starts up. While Windows 7 Fix is running, Windows 7 Fix will display constant error messages. Windows 7 Fix will run a fake scan of the computer, which will, no matter how many times you run it, always find dozens of malware problems. Conveniently for Windows 7 Fix, these malware problems cannot be fixed unless the "full version" of the program is purchased. Don't fall for it; Windows 7 Fix is not a real computer optimization tool. Windows 7 Fix may modify your file system to make it look like all files and folders completely disappeared from your computer. Windows 7 Fix will also delete your Start menu shortcuts. However, Windows 7 Fix creates back-ups of these in your Temp folder. Don't worry, because your files aren't really gone. Once you've removed Windows 7 Fix, just change your system settings to allow you to view hidden files and folders again. To protect itself from anti-malware applications, Windows 7 Fix uses rootkit-specific techniques to block access to your own registry, files, and programs. Whenever you try to open an executable file, you will get one of the following error messages: Hard Drive Failure The system has detected a problem with one or more installed IDE / SATA hard disks. It is recommended that you restart the system. System Error An error occurred while reading system files. Run a system diagnostic utility to check your hard disk drive for errors.
