DelFix

Overview

DelFix is a malware removal and cleanup tool developed by Xplode. It is primarily designed to remove leftover files and tools after cleaning a system of malware. DelFix restores system settings, removes temporary files, and ensures that any malicious tools used during the cleaning process (such as HijackThis, RKill, and others) are completely deleted from the system.
