WinFixer was a family of scareware rogue security programs developed by Winsoftware which claimed to repair computer system problems on Microsoft Windows computers if a user purchased the full version of the software. The software was mainly installed without the user's consent. McAfee claimed that "the primary function of the free version appears to be to alarm the user into paying for registration, at least partially based on false or erroneous detections." The program prompted the user to purchase a paid copy of the program.

ErrorSafe是一個透過互聯網廣告而安裝在用戶電腦的間諜軟件。由於它在網上已臭名昭著，所以經常以不同的名稱發行，例如：WinFixer或WinAntiVirus 。從2005年開始，這產品亦積極國際化，透過低成本的翻譯而製作其他語言的版本，以提高其市場「佔有率」。這軟件現時在網上的「強逼安裝」廣告，已被著名掃毒軟件Kaspersky Anti-Virus界別為木馬程式。
