Since I have not tested it myself, I cannot say exactly what files you need to check for removal in FreeFixer, but look for files that are digitally signed by &#8220;FauxResults&#8221; and the removal will be easy. Select them in the scan result and click the Fix button. You might have to restart your computer to complete the removal.<\/p>\n<p>Hope this helped you solved the FauxResults problem.<\/p>\n<p>Do you also have FauxResults on your machine? Any idea how it was installed? Please let me and the readers know by posting a comments. Thank you very much!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi there.
