Filefix Professional 2009 produces pop ups telling that the office, picture and music files in the computer are corrupted. The filefix professional program also tells users to download the Filefix professional 2009 universal file repair software to fix the corrupted files.
Filefix professional 2009 is very much similar to a number of rogue computer virus detection and removal software that have earlier come out such as the Virus Doctor, Antivirus 360 and antivirus number 1. These rogue computer virus spyware programs often show fake malware warnings and tell infected users to buy their filefix professional 2009 removal tool. In the case of the filefix program, users who clicked the pop up system tray are directed to the filefixpro.com site for the filefix professional removal. If you want to remove filefix professional 2009 pop ups, however, it is best NOT to download or purchase the FileFixerPro application advertised because of the suspicious manner through which it was introduced in your PC. Moreover, reviewwwer.com identified filefixpro as a malicious website.
Filefix.exe is reportedly associated with the filefix professional 2009 virus and it is currently being reviewed at Prevx.

Reginald,
the fact that you’re using Internet Explorer in the first case is the reason you’re wasting time fighting such viruses.

oh, also in case anyone from microsoft is watching, this started popping up seconds after I installed Internet Explorer 8. I do not know if I was truely on microsofts website or was misdirected to a spoof site when downloading the browser, I uninstalled IE8 after seeing the pop ups and program attempting to install itself. I kept a copy of the IE8 install files if anyone wants to investigate them.
IE8-WindowsXP-x86-ENU.exe

the irritating pop up comes from the file
fpfstb.dll
I was able to use the windows uninstall to remove most of the files except ftfstb.dll and also stfmeane1974.exe (somehow the help websites missed this second file)
see this site for full details on removal

Okay, so I’ve managed to get this guy’s payment system taken down. Dummy used one out of Ohio, USA. I went ahead and sent him an anonymous email with a fake sob story about needing my files and having a family. The guy sent me a key code to recover my files for free. Seems the key codes are in a database and one time use only, or I’d just post the code here for everyone. The guy seems to have some sort of heart, so just social engineer the guy and you’ll make out ok.
