Do you know what NowFixPc.com is?

DESCRIPTION

NowFixPc.com is a malicious website that we found out to redirect you to another website called RegistryUpdate.com which promotes a fake registry cleaner program. Just like rogue anti-spyware, rogue registry cleaner programs are just as bad because they attempt to force you into purchasing the full program which serves no good purpose. NowFixPc.com is named to trick computer users into thinking that it is a website designed to â€œfix your pc nowâ€. Hijacking your default home page to point to NowFixPc.com is the only fixing that you will get if you visit this website.

In non-techie terms: Usually NowFixPc.com is set as your default home page in your web browser which is an indication that you may have a serious Trojan or spyware infection. It would be wise for you to avoid visiting NowFixPc.com or RegistryRepair.com unless you do not mind your web browser being hijacked.
