Gasfene SG

Anyone knows what it is? it automatically tells me to download but i didnt of course. One of my computer is old so i never bothered install with firewall and antivirus and now winfixer.exe keep coming to tell me to download.

rule of thumb is not to download anything U dont want to download.
U can try doing a search on the net for it...but my guess is that it's spyware... Laughing Mr. Green

lucky for me. saw the win word, very tempted to download but decided not to do it. I have never kena a virus before but one of my computer is very prone sia. not enough disk space to install firewall, antivirus software and cannot even windows update.

U can turn off the autoupdate option mah...

if U dun want to patch ur system...well...its ur choice...but U will have to deal with the dangers of having loopholes all around ur OS...

but then since the system is not a critical one...I hope U have a good backup... Laughing Mr. Green

Your PC as such, is already compromised.

Using XP for this old computer?

Revert back to Win 95. Don't even need to bother with firewall and antivirus.
