I wouldn’t trust that website or that download. I’ve never heard of that site in computer security circles for downloading fixes and it also has a very poor trustworthiness rating over at Web of Trust: [Is fix-slow-computer.com Safe? fix-slow-computer Reviews & Safety Check | WOT](http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/fix-slow-computer.com)

It looks like that site is used for infecting unsuspecting users with fake fixes.
