Like the old saying goes, there's one born every minute. Your suggestions won't stop Winfixer. Legal action will. “I came to conclusion that WinFixer is relatively harmless itself…”

Like the old saying goes, there’s one born every minute.

Your suggestions won’t stop Winfixer.

Legal action will.

Since it exploits vulnerabilities in MS Internet Explorer, I always recommend to all who fell victim to winfixer, to switch to Firefox. Also, some kind of active antispyware protection is badly needed, though lots of unknown antispyware programs never detect none of the malware variants.

If I get a machine in, that has one of these variants, I usually just tell the person that I need to wipe their hard drive. It takes less time and is alot less frustrating.

Mr. Cohen should be in prison dating a guy names Bruno for the rest of his pathetic life!! Winfixer totally destroyed my computer. I don't understand the mindset of "people" who do these kind of things. I would love to join this lawsuit. Mr. Cohen should be in prison dating a guy names Bruno for the rest of his pathetic life!!

I didn't fall for the scam but the damned thing has been frustrating in eradicating. There's no telling what, if any data, has been compromised but considering the invasive nature of the attack, and the subjugation of my system, surely it can be construed as trespassing. Please let me know if I can be added to the lawsuit; if not for damages, then at least to add weight to your case. Best of luck in this endeavor!

Some people have unfortunately paid for this program and others have even tried to AVOID it, but the damage it creates is undeniable. This program needs to be stopped. Good luck with the lawsuit.

GOD forbid the FBI should do anything about it! This is in their purview isn't it? (Although, I have read that the FTC is finally going after "some" perpetrators.) Can you add all of us that are willing as defendants in the suit? Isn't that the idea of a class action lawsuit? I for one, am very willing! Thank you! Rock Joseph,
