The usual hatchet job from frank for his masters in the group for "alarm
professionals".  Based on the lack of honesty of Frank and his buddies, the
definition I have of "alarm professionals" would not be repeatable in polite
company.

WinFixer is not a SECURITY risk.  It is an annoyance that pops up IF YOU
MANUALLY INSTALL IT.

I opened www.BassBurglarAlarms.com with the pop up blocker off, on a
computer that I have never used to view the site, no pop up.

I then used Google to search for the link between Winfixer and the counter
Robert uses.  Apparently there is NO CONNECTION except for series of flames
from the "alarm professionals".
