Summary[edit]

Winfixer is one of a family of software products used to scam people. In 2008, the US Federal Trade Commission shut down the site. Since then, they have successfully brought criminal actions against several people.

Licensing[edit]

According to Wikipedia guidelines, Some copyrighted images may be used on Wikipedia for the following reasons

1 Cover art
2 Team and corporate logos: For identification
6 Screenshots from software products

It is my opinion that all 3 apply to this image.

In addition, since the US government seized the corporate assets of Winsoftware Ltd. (the company that used WinFixer to steal money from victims), it is likely that the image is actually in the public domain and no longer protected by copyright.

A number of additional screen images are available at archive.org.
