   I went into Major Geeks to download a freeware malware fixer.
   
   I saw an offer for a scan and fix called "Reimage Repair" I tried it and had trouble getting it started, Ok; then after it had installed and run a scan I was told that to fix the problems I would have to buy a years coverage at over $100.
   
   Would have appreciated an advance warning that this was a paid scan and fix.
   
   Any comments?

   Hi and welcome to Major Geeks.
   
   It would be helpful to know where you saw that Reimage is freeware. On our download here : http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/reimage.html it says shareware and gives the price.
   
   Just as an fyi, we have a specialized Malware Removal Forum with malware removal instructions: READ & RUN ME FIRST Malware Removal Guide (incl. spyware, virus, trojan, hijacker)
   
   You can also look at this thread: How to Protect yourself from malware!
