How to remove Fix Tool?
What is Fix Tool?
Fix Tool is a new registry cleaner, and like pretty much any registry cleaner out there, it is also a complete scam. Fix Tool is actually a fake registry cleaner, which depends on misleading advertising to make sales. This parasite usually enters the system by using the infamous Zlob trojan, which hides behind the inconspicuous mask of a video codec and can be found on many malicious websites.
Upon entering the system, Fix Tool proceeds to spam the user with fake system notifications and popups, which are supposed to be an alert that the user’s Windows registry has serious errors, which have to be taken care of. While this is likely true (pretty much any registry has these), Fix Tool can neither detect malicious/useless registry entries, nor can it take care of them. The same goes for the registry scans – they are completely simulated and usually contain only false positives. Much like any other rogue, Fix Tool tends to hijack the browser and significantly decreases system performance.
Fix Tool is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block fix-tool.com using your HOSTS file.
