FreeFixer 0.41

FreeFixer 0.41 is a useful tool allowing you to delete potentially unwanted software such as viruses, trojans, spyware, adware, and rootkits.

Major Features:

1. Work by scanning a number of locations where unwanted software has a known record of appearing or leaving traces.
2. The scan locations include the programs that starts when you reboot your computer, the programs that run on your computer, your browser plug-ins, your home page settings etc.
3. The scan result will contain many items you want to keep and perhaps some that you want to delete because FreeFixer does not know which the bad files and settings are
4. To assist you when determining if anything should be removed you can find additional information at FreeFixers web site for the items in the scan result.

Enhancements:

• FreeFixer now scans the Windows XP Firewall Authorized Applications.
• FreeFixer can now unlock files that are locked by another process. This feature is used when FreeFixer runs into a file which cannot be read. FreeFixer then closes all handles in the process that locks or has opened the file in an exclusive mode. This should reduce or completely eliminate errors saying: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process".
• The AppInit_DLL plugin and the Suspicious file names plugin now show the number of whitelisted items in the log file.
• Fixed a bug on the FreeFixer web site where searching for the CustomizeSearch and SearchAssistant Internet Explorer settings, resulted in an error message saying "Insufficient input".
• Fixed a minor issue where the scan result gave an incorrect number of whitelisted drivers.
