Occasionally, antivirus programs may flag LinkFixer Advanced as a virus or malware. These warnings are typically false positives. LinkFixer Advanced has been registered with major antivirus vendors and is safe to use when downloaded from official sources.

False Positives During Update or Installation

If you receive an antivirus warning while updating or installing LinkFixer Advanced:

      1. Confirm that you downloaded the software via “Check for Updates” inside LinkFixer Advanced or from the official             site: LinkTek.com.
      2. Take a screenshot of the warning message or notification.
      3. Email the screenshot to Support@LinkTek.com.
      4. Continue using LinkFixer Advanced.

Important: Running antivirus software concurrently with LinkFixer Advanced can significantly slow processing, as the antivirus scans files before they are processed.


False Positives During Download or Execution

The same steps apply if your antivirus detects LinkFixer Advanced during download, installation, or while running the program. These warnings are almost always false positives.

To improve performance and prevent false positives, exclude the following folders from antivirus scanning:
  1. C:\Program Files (x86)\LinkTek\LinkFixer Advanced
  2. C:\ProgramData\LinkTek\LinkFixer Advanced
  3. C:\Users\Public\Desktop\LinkFixer Advanced
For additional guidance, see LinkFixer Advanced System Requirements.
This ensures safe use of the software while avoiding unnecessary interruptions from antivirus programs.
