This is an example of pain-in-the-neck-ware.
It is a "marketing ploy." Never allow any external agency to fool with your system, especially not for money.
Download and run the freebies Ad-Aware and Spybot, and uninstall that Winfixer thing if it shows up in Add/Remove Programs. Make sure you have a working firewall (there are freebies like Tiny Personal Firewall) and a frequently updated antivirus package (Avast! is a decent freebie).
Tell the kids to stop practicing self-immolation, and to look both ways before crossing the internet.

Running WIndows 2000 Service Pack 4. I have been trying to free up space and make my computer run more effieciently but I keep getting a message that I have disk and resgistry errors. This message comes along with an advertisement from WinFixer 2006 that my kids downloaded for free. Now when I run Disk Clean up, my computer goes idle. The task manager says that the application is still running but should it run for 10 hours? Please help or tell me the right question to ask!
