Support whizz 'fixes' screeching laptop with a single click... by closing 'malware-y' browser tab

If you completely wipe every machine you find where a user has simply managed to open a dodgy web page, you'd be one-busy chap! So long as the user hasn't downloaded the said "fix" from the hijacked/redirected site, the laptop should be no more infected than any other machine.
