    If posting this gets me banned, so be it, but at least one user has asked for help with this one and can resolve the problem by reading this.

    For detailed steps to remove and recover from SystemFix, look at this article.

    One of the most important things is that you do not delete any files from your Temp folder or use any temp file cleaners. When SystemFix is installed it will delete shortcuts found in various locations and store backups of them in the %Temp%\smtmp folder. It does this so that when you try to launch a program from your Start menu, none of your shortcuts will appear. Instead, where the program name used to appear, you now see the word, Empty.

    Everything you need is in the article in the link above.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!
    Actually no it isn't. There will still be malware to remove manually afterwards. And more recently, most people getting infected with this infection, are also getting a ZeroAccess infection which that link will not fix. In addition, there may also be a Master Boot Record infection. This is why we have the below procedure at Major Geeks!
