Sometimes malware files are hard to delete, and this where some type of removal tools can be a big help. FreeFixer is one such free general purpose removal tool that can help delete potentially unwanted software on your Windows computer.

This tool scans in more than 40 locations where unwanted software can hook into your system and look up files in its online database, which has over 90000 files and 4000 user comments. It will scan the programs that start-up and run on your Windows computer as well as your browser add-ons, extensions, plug-ins and home page and search settings too.
Once its scan is completed it lists the files under categories like, Appnit.dll, BHO, IE toolbar, IE extensions, Registry startups, Scheduled tasks, Services, Autorun.inf files, Explorer modules, Drivers, etc. Files listed with a green background are trusted files. Files with a white or gray background are unknown files.
You then have to take a considered call on whether it indeed is a PUP or false positive, and decide if you would like to remove it or not. FreeFixer has a powerful removal feature that can delete almost any type of malware or PUP file, including adware, spyware, rootkits, Trojans, viruses and worms.
The program does not know what is unwanted, so it presents the scan result and it is totally up to you decide if some file needs to be deleted or some of the listed settings need to be restored to their default value – so you have to be careful here and be doubly sure before you decide to delete something.
The freeware, also lets you upload files online, to have them checked by antivirus scanners. Go here to download FreeFixer (http://www.freefixer.com/download.html).
