Outstanding product!

By Harvella J., Richmond, TX, Verified Reviewer

This is an economical way to keep your devices clear of viruses. I have used it for years and it is quick and easy to use. I started using many years ago and it is amazing how it works and how efficient it is. I recommend it to anyone that is looking for speed, efficiency and to lower their overhead cost.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

FixMeStick usage

By Fabian C., Texas, Verified Reviewer

Easy to install, had to use the "pressing the F12" button to get it going; found several items on my desktop and a few on my laptop. Glad I got them off our computers; am going to use it on my tablet later today.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Issues

By Roger D., Nevada, Verified Reviewer

It eventually took me about two days to finally get the stick to pair with my Apple wireless mouse. It would say mouse found, but curser wouldn't move so I had to keep starting over...very frustrating, to say the least. I even did a factory reset of one of the sticks and then I couldn't find the EFI BOOT so switched sticks. If this keeps happening, I'm not sure if I can rate this good or not. For me, I am not tech savvy, and this only frustrates me considerably! These bugs need to be worked out.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Thanks

By Diane R., Texas, Verified Reviewer

I used the FixMeStick on two computers and I am pleased with the results. The desktop is four years old and after running the FixMeStick, my sis was very happy with the speed of the computer.

Microsoft scam

By Desmond E., Nevada, Verified Reviewer

Microsoft scam locked up my computer, sirens going off saying my computer is illegal, wanting me to call that number. Heck no. I tried everything on Google and YouTube. The real culprit is SlimWare. I erased it off my computer but everywhere is still popping up, they suckered me once when I first set up my computer. A hot girl walked up on my screen, gave me step by step instructions. My computer was saying all my stuff is outdated and not working. On my computer that I just took out of the box. Yes, my first computer. Ended up paying SlimWare and got nothing but problems saying I need all these upgrades wanting more money. What a scam. I canceled and erased all that off my computer still popping up. Then the Microsoft scam locked on my computer. So I went to Walmart asked what the heck do I need, he said FixMeStick. Got it, ran it, said found bugs, guess what, SlimWare. It still was messing up. I ran it again, still messing up. Shut it off for a few hours, then it was off my computer. And I shut it off for hours before, restarted my computer, tried everything thing. All day. But FixMeStick did it so far so good. SlimWare should get shut down and locked up in prison, scamming bastards.

Function key

By Ronald B., Florida, Verified Reviewer

The FixMeStick would not open up on this tow in one. After three attempts the instruction said enter setup to open the stick from the USB selection in setup. F1, F2, F12 will not open setup. Your lists do not have the key listed for a Maximum III 2n1. I contacted the manufacturer but I have not gotten a response. This is the device I bought the stick for but I can not use it on this device.

Hi Ronald,

Thanks for reaching out. FixMeStick (and other external boot devices) can be challenging to get started on custom-built or 2 in 1 computers. Please contact us at support@fixmestick.com or through our website at https://www.fixmestick.com/contact and one of our agents would be happy to help you get it running on your computer.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Live it

By Miriel D., Rhode Island, Verified Reviewer

After receiving my FixMeStick, I plugged it in, followed the I instructions, and after a few hours, it finished its work, and I was informed that all was well. Made me very happy.

Thank you.

Not worth my time or money

By Jim F., Grayslake, IL, Verified Reviewer

I tried both FixMeSticks purchased and cannot get either to finish a scan. The program locks up my computer and the only way I can get my computer to work is to reboot it. I ran it overnight and it froze after scanning about 1100 files.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

So far, so good

By Nancy P., Roanoke, VA, Verified Reviewer

The scan went for a little over an hour, no viruses found, which is good. Was easy enough to set up. Not sure what else I can do with it. I will do it again in a few months, hopefully, it will still be good.

Getting started with FixMeStick

By Edwin T., Menomonee Falls, WI, Verified Reviewer

I had trouble getting the cap of the FixMeStick; the long end came off of the FixMeStick when I tried to get the cap off. One I got the cap off, I was able to install the FixMeStick into the computer.

FixMeStick

By Gordon M., Nova Scotia, Canada, Verified Reviewer

This is a great product.

I phoned them to ask a question and they give great customer service. Customer service is lost with a lot of companies but not this one.

I would highly recommend this product to everyone.

Just tried it

By Mick S., Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I bought a FixMeStick several months ago hoping to never need it, and well, it seemed a good idea as I have had many viruses before. I put it on a shelf and forgot about it. Then, of course, my computer started to slow down to a crawl until I was unable to work any longer getting prepared for a big bill because I had anti-malware, etc. on my PC, but it had not stopped it. I remembered about that FixMeStick and thought why not try it, it can't do any harm. So I did sort it out straight away and now it is working fine. It did everything it said it would on the pack and you do not need to be a techy to use it (I can attest to that). Thanks FixMeStick!

Great product

By Chris T., Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Verified Reviewer

My old laptop kept freezing and I was going to buy a new one when I came across FixMeStick. It worked and my old laptop works like new. It's an amazing product and I highly recommend it!

Great product

By Teresa J., Oakville, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I have been interested in this product for a while but was apprehensive about trying it. I am glad I did!

It found several items that no other product or scan had. My computer runs better now.

I have told several of my friends and family about this product. Very easy to use!

Instructions

By Dale S., California, Verified Reviewer

The stick was fantastic. It fixed my problem and now my computer runs like new. However, there were no instructions to help me included with the product. If there were instructions in the stick, I couldn't access them. It took me two scans to get it to work properly. I couldn't get my computer to reboot at the beginning of the process.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Factory upgrade fixed hang

By Edward S., Orlando, FL, Verified Reviewer

In January, my FixMeStick failed to run. I tried the various ways to launch it but it would get stuck and would not start a scan. I tried again in February, but it had the same problem. I contacted Support and the agent told me about the Menu Options > Factory Upgrade and that cured the problem.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

As advertised

By Craig K., Illinois, Verified Reviewer

Easy to use...right out of the package and into my computer and setting it up was effortless. Ran for about 2 and 1/2 hours, only found one small threat and removed it...so easy. The thing is, that after running the FixMeStick, my computer now runs so much faster.

Support

By Justin K., Chicago, IL, Verified Reviewer

I've been waiting for two days for support to answer a simple question. Simple question really. I want to use this for my business and would like to give the report to my customer. The PDF that gets generated on the USB looks clunky, they said there was a better way to view the report, but they have not told me where.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hi Justin,

I apologize for the delay in getting back to you, however, our offices are closed on Sunday which is why it took from Saturday to Monday to respond to your request! When I reviewed your correspondences with our support agents, we gave you a link to your account where your scan results are shown. Unfortunately, at this time there is no option to 'download' the results. I will, however, pass this feedback along so we can get that added to our to-do list for improvements!

Please let us know if there's anything else we can help with.

Best,

Claire

First attempt with FixMeStick

By Carl S., United Kingdom, Verified Reviewer

My computer is quite old and so perhaps there is an upper limit on the level of improvement that FixMeStick can effect. The fact is that, although the scan proceeded smoothly and successfully, it has made very little difference to the speed or utility of my computer.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Company Response from FixMeStick Technologies Inc.

Hi Carl,

It is possible that the slow speed and lack of utility of your computer are related to the age, not viruses. If you're looking for an optimization tool, we offer a deal for FixMeStick customers for System Mechanic. If you're interested, please go to https://www.fixmestick.com/system-mechanic/ for more information!

Further, please don't hesitate to contact our customer support at https://www.fixmestick.com/contact/.

FixMeStick is really amazing.

By Loren K., Springfield, IL, Verified Reviewer

My laptop had become infected with malware which causes it to lock up and crash several times. I doubted it would ever operate again. I became frantic because I couldn't get my college assignments completed, so I decided to give FixMeStick a try. My laptop now performs better than ever. I tried FixMeStick as a last resort, but I now will use FixMeStick as my first choice. This product saved me hundreds of dollars in repairs. This is a true story, FixMeStick is really amazing.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very satisfied with FixMeStick

Will definitely recommend the product to everybody I know.

Faster

By Godria T., Stockton, CA, Verified Reviewer

I was hesitant about purchasing but my computer was so slow I took a chance and made the purchase of the FixMeStick. I used it on my computer and found two viruses. The FixMeStick cleaned my computer and it is a lot faster. I like that it is lifetime and I don't have to renew or purchase another product. Glad I made the purchase.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Works well

By Lance R., Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I ran the fix and clicked on to buy but could not go back to see how the scan was going. It locked me in. Several hours later I still could not see the fix screen so I rebooted and left your steps of procedure up so I could do the final clean. Something had taken over my computer and was screwing up the mouse made it impossible to do anything. It would blank out my screen for a moment and start playing music from who knows where and so on. Ran stick and it was gone. Thanks for such a great product. Amazing.

Initial scan

By Ken M., Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, Verified Reviewer

When I first used the FixMeStick on my laptop, I did not realize how many problems I had. The time was about 5 hours, but it was well worth the time. I also did my main computer overnight and had the same results. I was unaware of how many problems there are out there. Thanks for your work.
