I payed for and installed Win Fixer 2005. I then read some blogs that said it was spyware so I removed it. Can someone clarify. Is winfixer and WinFixer 2005 the same thing.

WinFixer 2005

Google is your friend - with so many free and bonafide solutions available, I wonder why folks elect to pay for ones they are unsure of. Good advertising (hype) I suppose

Research is always a good idea
