Do you know what Winfix 10 is?

It was found that Winfix 10 is a fake system optimizer that has the ability to paralyze your Windows operating system. We have tested this annoying program in our internal lab and have found that it can disable the Task Manager and lock your screen using a bogus notification, popularly known as the BSOD (blue screen of death). This is initiated to convince you that you need to install a tool that could disable or remove hardware causing this. We can guarantee that the BSOD is initiated by Winfix 10 itself, which means that this is the program you need to delete from your operating system. Do you know how to remove Winfix 10 from your PC? Continue reading, and you will learn everything you need to know about this fake registry cleaner.Winfix 10 Removal GuideWinfix 10 screenshot

If you trust the information provided at winfix10.net, you might think that Winfix 10 can be trusted. Developerts LLC (the developer) has made an effort to make this website look profession and reliable, which is why so many computer users install Winfix 10 themselves. Of course, it is more likely that you will have to remove this malicious program after executing an unreliable software bundle. For example, Amonetize could bundle Winfix 10 with adware, potentially unwanted programs, and possibly more dangerous threats. Even though we do not recommend installing this unreliable registry cleaner at all, you certainly should not install it via third-party installers, because you might end up having to delete even more security threats from your operating system. On top of that, the removal of Winfix 10 is complicated enough.

An extract from the fictitious Winfix 10 BSOD

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

The files that control Winfix 10 are signed by Fidelis IT Solutions Private Limited, and they are usually found in the SenseIUpdater folder under %AppData%. If you have not been locked out of your own operating system, the first thing you need to do is remove Winfix 10 files. Simultaneously tap Win+E to launch the Windows Explorer, type %appdata% into the bar at the top, and remove all files within the SenseIUpdater folder. If your screen was locked already, you will have to do the same after restarting your PC in Safe Mode. This might seem scary if you are inexperienced, but our removal instructions below will certainly help you.
