This is a high risk cloaked malware (as detected by Prevx scanner) Our Vista laptop freezes or hangs periodically.

Freefixer.com is the Bomb. You have my vote for the best. My credentials are self designed websites for me and friends since 1999,at least 5 personal web businesses, graduate of IT program tested high score for hardware on A+ (failed software by 3 points,well I can be someones IT nightmare, started hackers path but stopped too time consuming and I'm a Good guy) I do all of my own computer work. That said just verify this testimonial.... I had a resident dormant Free Skype program that could not be deleted or uninstalled since they started in 04 on my system. Hey I changed my mind after fusing with it. I left it alone to time consuming. Next was Free Panda Express Good but I didn't want it, same scenario but after deletion I kept getting a missing file window every time I turned machine on since05. With the Panda file I did not know what was missing for a year,too busy to sit down for non productive hours and I was not buying their software just to remove it!
Bottom Line FREEFIXER was stumbled upon due to my son corrupting the main computer,Bummer. Well like I say I stumble and this has to be my year highlight. Just like I like it QUICK FAST AND THANK YOU very much!
The software went in and IDENTIFIED EVERYTHING out of order on my system, yes I was alittle skeptical and afraid I was going to f--- it up worst.
Well after three years My system boots clean and feels clean.
Thank you FreeFixer Well Satisfied, if you need more Testimonial let me know.

The following is a quote from Zwangi's terms and condition, which explains what the software does:

"Zwangi Desktop Search turns your browser address bar (the place where you generally type in web site addresses) into an Internet search box. Installation of Zwangi Desktop overrides most pre-existing, error resolution applications (like Google Desktop or Yahoo Toolbar), so that when you input search terms or un-resolvable web site addresses, or keywords, you will be provided with responsive, sponsored and un-sponsored Internet search results via the Zwangi Search service or you may be directly navigated to a brand owner's site via one of our third party partners."

Zwangi la primera vez que me apareció fué hace mas de 4 o 5 meses mi sistema se volvió muy lento pero no sabía que era y lo mas raro es que aparecía como un complemento de firefox, supuestamente lo busque para desactivarlo pero al primer intento se reinició mi pc y aparecio el nombre diciendo zwangi todo esta bien y traté de buscar información y la forma de eliminarlo pero de momento no encontré nada en la red y el antivirus no lo detectó el sistema falló totalmente así que utilizando pebuilder revisé mi disco lo ubique y manuelmente eliminé todo rastro pero demasiado tarde ya que perdí mucha información por lo que remití los datos a pandalabs, y al menos el antiovirus ya lo detecta y tengo la opción para eliminarlo totalmente, mi consejo si pueden borrarlo haganlo
