NOD32 FiX

Overview

NOD32 FiX is a program developed by Nsane Productions. Upon installation and setup, it defines an auto-start registry entry which makes this program run on each Windows boot for all user logins. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. When installed, it will add a context menu handler to the Windows shell in order to provide quick access to the program. The software installer includes 84 files and is usually about 14.36 MB (15,053,315 bytes). UpdateReminder.exe is the automatic update component of the software designed to download and apply new updates should new versions be released. In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows XP as well as Windows 7 (SP1). While about 13% of users of NOD32 FiX come from the United States, it is also popular in Italy and Mexico.
