    Check the certificate of Mr. Fix it! Get the free version of tune up utilities and you will never have to worry again. Lots of 3rd party hackers mess with mr fix it utilities to embed software in your hard drive to steal your bank account numbers and company secrets. Report any invalid certificates and watch for Verisign class 3 they are notorious in stealing personal intelligence. You are smart and more intellegent now, always verify certificates and repot to Microsoft if the are expired! Otherwise our economy will get worse, it is not the recession it is theft!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had 10,000 or more stolen from me through this third part software taktic they use. Watch the cartoon the Lorax and you will see wh the US is in recession! You can report false certificates ans I am sure Microsoft would respect your imput to protect his justice in many matters, I have respect for a man that donates to people in need not all fortune 500's could stand up like this to support good causes they are very reputable and quinuine to the entire world. Not eveyone give free Certifications to CA the most afected by thel theft of our industries they stole through the 3rd party software. Try to ask for the copy of our right on third party software you have to wright a letter to just know the rights in CA. Why, because we have no rights, or intelligence unless we donate or are government or sign up to be a Microsoft developer to report theft.

    Microsoft Fix it does NOT work, and there is noknown Solution other the to uninstall and re-install, when you do this there are no changed results.

    The Program will NOT install the Trouble Shooters on Windows XP Pro SP3 and there is no known solution.

    Hi I have been following this thread to see if his problem and your answers could relate to my virus problem. which i think it does.

    So i have download the Malwarebytes that you advised him(hellandbliss) to do and installed it and is running as i type.

    I'm currently in consultation with PCtools Support as the purchase of Spyware Doctor yesterday didn't remove the virus nor has MSE which i loaded on after Microsoft closed LiveOne Care (Which worked for me for years without any problems.) Even with all the support out there i think these forums could be the answer The worst scenario is that i have to re-format my hard drive This virus won't allow me to update any security issues. nor backup my computer.

    Just to let you know the program that i was running above a quick scan has finished with 40 objects as infected What do you suggest. Regards Steve
