How to remove UltimateFixer?
What is UltimateFixer?
Here we go again with the "best rogue security program" we’ve received since Friday. This time it’s UltimateFixer. As of October 1, 2007, you can supposedly depend on this, as the home page states, "cutting-edge software" to remove any and all threats on your system (especially those, which do not exist).
UltimateFixer makes its way to your system by means of trojans, such as Zlob. Then it tries to scare you with seemingly endless pop-ups, all of them saying you have a hell-lot of threats on your PC. Intimidated (or annoyed), you are expected to click on these pop-ups, which lead you to the vendor’s site where there is a trial version of the program. You can download it and make a scan, which falsifies the report, targeting legitimate software as threats. To remove these threats you have to buy the full version, which obviously doesn’t work any better than the trial.
As I surfed to the website of this awesome tool, the first thing I saw was a test-scan performed on my system. The scan took somewhere between 3 to 5 seconds during which it found 1374 system errors on my system. A miraculously rapid scan, just, perhaps, too rapid to be true…After this bone-chilling realization, I was provided with all this useless information of how UltimateFixer can Fix all my problems, so I decided to press "download" and see how they try to convince me to go through with it all. There is this really informative picture of a download table with "yes" circled, but wait, my anti-virus says it’s useless, since the file, flagged as "Win32/Adware.UltimateDefender" is already on my computer. How helpful and smart – it downloads automatically without telling you, so it can further annoy you with the pop-ups, just in case you would manage not to understand the circled "yes" correctly and press something else…
The "support" section of the website says that the product was made by "Nous-Tech Solutions Limited", the same one, that has created such rogue security programs as UltimateCleaner and UltimateDefender, both of them exactly as functional as UltimateDefender. You can supposedly contact their "Western Europe representative" in Moscow of all places, by dialing a U.S. number. Strange…The name of the ‘representative’ is Trademax LTD, a company which deals pharmaceutical and chemical goods. Even stranger.
I would strongly encourage you to spend your $49.95 some other way. Buying popcorn and taking the bus back and forth are both more meaningful ways to spend your money. As for UltimateFixer, remove it as quick as you can.

UltimateFixer is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only UltimateFixer can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads UltimateFixer trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, UltimateFixer offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, UltimateFixer does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.
Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as UltimateFixer, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install UltimateFixer, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.
Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as UltimateFixer, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
