I was looking to clear up some problems with my computer, and found a product that I ha previously downloaded, titled "Speed fix tool. I ran it, and then they offered to repair my computer from all of the problems it had found. I paid the 29.95 fee but they said the transaction would not go thru. My bank had put a hold on it. There was a phone number on the web site which turned out to be a medical support service. When I finally found the publisher was a company called: Fixbliss, and decided to follow up with them, which process led me to your web page. Apparently it is a scam!
