Remove Memory Fixer
Updated on Wednesday, January 12th, 2011

A program having the name “Memory Fixer” hints that it may have something to do about helping your computer with its memory problems, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. This piece of malware is in the same family of programs as HDD Fix. They are both rogue software that pretend to be legitimate programs but actually do more harm than good.

First of all, Memory Fixer enters a system through trojans or fake online scanners. A lot of people fall victim to this – which is why great care should be taken when surfing the Internet or opening e-mail attachments. When this piece of malware has managed to install itself, it immediately changes your browser settings and also blocks some programs that would be able to get rid of it from running. Afterwards, it starts running scans on your hard drive. It will then report finding errors in your system – errors that sound very bad like sectors going missing or the hard drive not being detected.

However, these are all fake – these warning messages are this piece of scareware’s way of trying to get you to buy the full version of it; usually at a steep price. Once you encounter this on your PC, it would be best to remove it as soon as possible. To learn how to do this, read on.
