You will all be pleased to know that James Reno’s and others involved in the winfixer scam have had their assets seized by the FTC. Hopefully he will do hard time in a federal penitentiary with ‘bubba’ and ‘Tyrone!

I got this on my computer and I had to buy a new one. It started as a popup and when I clicked the X button it downloaded itself, causing havok with endless popups. It then started to crash my system and put other rubbish on my computer. Then I got the dreaded blue screen of death and had to reinstall windows which cost me $50! Absolutely ridiculous. Count me in those numbers. I believe the company making these fraudulent programs is ‘WinSoft’.

I hope you put them out of business. In the meantime here are a few free programs I’ve found to fix the issues: Malwarebytes, Spy Bot and Ad Aware.

Good Luck

Good News..Joseph M. Bochner has since been re-instated to practise law in California. He had failed to pay his bar fee but since has paid it.

I too have been infected by the dang things, but have been successful in removing them with a really good system scan and virus remover. As far a lawsuit, I am all game for it. But, do you really think you are going to get these guys in a USA Courtroom when these programs come from places like Poland, Russia, Ukraine, etc…The folks that do this are SCUM but there are not dumb. They know lawsuits will be coming at them. And by getting out of the country they make it very to catch them. Besides, the operation is probally already shut down and another one started. Just get yourself a very good anti-virus program and scan your PC often. The lawsuit crap will just waste your time, these guys know what they are doing. They blame the virus on “their advertizing agents” and are willing to “help” you catch them…….. :-(

I was recently struck by WinAntiVirus under the name of VistaAntiVirus (file vav.exe et.al.). I had to do a complete recovery because the virus removed all my restore points. Needless to say, I lost everything. It ate my backups. I was hopeful of becoming a part of the class action but it seems that according to the State Bar as of July 1, 2008, attorney Joseph M. Bochner can no longer practice law in California.

The latest news isn’t good. The suit has been dropped due to lack of interest by law enforcement. Some even doubted that a crime had taken place. It looks like that pimply faced hillbilly James Reno is going to get away with this for some time to come. The reactions of the FBI and the FTC regarding this kind of fraud are apalling!

I have been fighting these jackoffs since 2005 when winantivirus was highly praise. When I down loaded the program it came with 500+ viruses, trojons and other nasty things. To this day I still haven’t been able to get ride of them. I true;y feel everyones pain. Lets hang them for the highest tree and stone them to death.
