FixIt! Tool

A FixIt! tool is an executable (*.exe) file that collects system data and generates a detailed report. A FixIt! tool inspects:

•Installed programs and updates.

•Launched and launchable processes.

•Suspicious registry entries and their relations to other objects.

•Installed drivers and browser extensions.

•Modules loaded into processes.

•System logs.

•Disk partitions.

Once you’ve analyzed a report, you can add curing commands to a FixIt! tool. Beyond data collection, this tool will address issues and neutralize detected threats on the scanned computer.

A tool that collects data is called an analyzing tool, while one that fixes issues are referred to as a curing tool.
