According to PC Magazine Winfixer looks like an authentic Windows security alert. However:
WinAntiSpyware and WinAntiVirus use aggressive advertising, drive sales using false positive results, and inappropriately collect personal data. Sunbelt Software's research center states that WinFixer uses false warnings to goad trial users into purchasing it. The eTrust Spyware Encyclopedia reports that it installs without the user's permission or knowledge, displays popup ads not related to the program itself, and uses false warnings of "severe system threats". Tenebril Software's Spyware Research Center hits these same themes, adding that it may permit execution of unsigned executable code. And of course that oh-so-polished warning screen was delivered to my test system by known malware.
