Trojan

By Daniel C. P., Sainte-Anne-de-Madawaska, New Brunswick, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I had a Trojan ransom wear that I couldn't get out of my computer, FixMeStick found it and removed it on the first run. I'm very impressed with this product glad I bought it. I realized that my desktop was infected when I received an email from my own address telling me that I was being watched and they had access to my account and I had to transfer 500 bitcoin to an account number to be left alone. So I decided to try FixMeStick. I am very glad I did. This thing works like magic and very easy to use, I highly recommend it.

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

FixMeStick for Windows 10

By Michelle H., Dawson Creek, British Columbia, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I remember the first time I purchased one of these, which was several years ago now. I was totally happy with the results. The computer I used it on back then was in total conflict with me before and this "simple little black USB" cleared up all the issues I was having at that time!

I told my son about it and showed him how much better my computer was running. He was amazed and still a bit skeptical. Then his computer went a little bit so he tried it and it totally fixed every issue he was having with his computer.

I know it had extended the life of my old laptop by at least a year!

A great product for a great price and it is quick and easy...

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

Easy to install and use

By Hedy K., Olympia, WA, Verified Reviewer

It was a little challenging because my PC did not respond as identified. I called for technical support and was assisted by a technician that was very helpful. Now I will be able to scan without any problem.

Worthless!

By John N., Pickering, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

After 13 minutes and 30 seconds, total PC lock-up. I had to shut off the PSU in order to get it back working. Worthless item! Avoid at all costs! I was expecting it to work, a quick plug and run and solve my problems. I've tried running anti-virus, no luck, and three different malware software, only one did anything. It found 36 problems but the adverts still persist every few minutes.

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

Fixed me up

By Gloria T., Douglas, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I got my stick the other day and used it right away. It cleaned up my computer of many trojans and horses. I found it easy to use. I wasn't able to use my touch screen for about a month. After the FixMeStick cleaned the computer up, I was able to use it again. I would recommend this product to a friend.

Thank you.

AWESOME!

By DiAnn S., Battle Creek, MI, Verified Reviewer

I have used the FixMeStick and my computer is working great now! I love this product and am so happy I bought it!

Thank you so much, I love it! My computer was doing strange things and now running to the best of its ability. And I was worried about having a virus and what it was doing with all my info and knew I needed to take care of it, and taking it to someone was not an option as it is just so expensive. And I wanted to try this as Kim Commando suggested the FixMeStick highly, so I knew I couldn't go wrong.

Took a while

By Ruben R., New Mexico, Verified Reviewer

I went by all the instructions and the first time I rebooted my computer, it was worse than before. I rebooted a second time and tried to open my email to send them a nasty-gram, because my computer was slower than before, but I couldn't get to my email. Then I completely shut down the whole system and left it overnight. I turned off everything connected to my computer. I turned on my computer in the morning, and now it's running great.

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

Disappointed

By Fran S., Alberta, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I have heard such great reviews. I am really disappointed. It worked great, did everything it was supposed to do. It found three viruses and one Trojan, it said clean. I clicked and waited and did not remove the items there. I ran FixMeStick two more times, same results - the same items came up each time and cannot remove. What a disappointment.

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

Great

By Francesca D., Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I am used to calling the "IT Guy" when I have a problem, so am close to being a Luddite, really. I am retired now, no IT Guy - and I was able to get this stick going, watched it for a few minutes to ensure it was doing something, replied to a question or two, then went out for the evening. When I returned it showed as being complete, so "success" for me. Hopefully, there is no problem, and it will stay this way. I just wish that it would remove the extra "stuff" which slows down my laptop - but I can deal with that if there is no virus, etc. in my machine. Thank you. It felt good to be successful.

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

Initial doubts gone

By Peter E., Quebec, Canada, Verified Reviewer

After the first scan, I allowed a file indicated as malware to remain on my laptop. After reboot five trojan viruses were discovered. After rescan I cleaned the same file. Thereafter my laptop reported as clean.

Thanks to FixMeStick.

Very user-friendly, easy to use. Plug in and relax.

By Rosh B., British Columbia, Canada, Verified Reviewer

So far satisfied. I have Norton and Scanguard antivirus in addition to using this FixMeStick. My laptops are running smooth but on scanning with Scanguard, it warning me I have issues with my security while Norton scan says all good. I don't have otherwise any speed issues. I am wondering what to make of Scanguard scan warning.

Awesome product!

By Cindy R., Winona, MN, Verified Reviewer

FixMeStick was so easy to use and found a problem/malware on my PC. Now my laptop is running much faster! Thank you for this awesome product. I didn't have to spend hundreds to fix my laptop and it to someone I didn't trust. I'm not that tech savvy, so using the FixMeStick was very simple for me. It did take a while, but the wait was worth it. I highly recommend it!

Works great and really helps!

By Nicole S., North Carolina, Verified Reviewer

The FixMeStick really helps put my mind at ease when I'm concerned about my computer. I can count on it to be sure my computer is safe from viruses, malware, etc. that my regular anti-virus software may miss. I would definitely recommend it to everyone for peace of mind.

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

Excellent

By Jeffrey S., New Windsor, IL, Verified Reviewer

FixMeStick has been around for a while and I decided after having a few issues with my computer to try the FixMeStick. This thing really works quite well. It will take a few hours to run its scan but it will find the problems and fix them for you.

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

Performance

By Ken R., Newport Beach, CA, Verified Reviewer

It does not do anything significant for my Apple Air. I have an infestation and all they do is direct me to manually remove the threats...what’s the deal?

If their product is supposed to work, what's wrong, am I doing something wrong, are they not supporting Apple?

I’m looking for something that works...theirs apparently doesn’t.

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

Impressive product and "real" Customer Support

By Terry P., Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I had watched a feature on CTV about the FixMeStick more than a year ago at least, and at the time, thought maybe I should give it a try.

Time went on and I forgot about it. Until this December when I began to receive renewal reminders for my AV programs, malware blockers, etc. By now my computer was appearing to be slower, yet my AV program was not detecting any issues.

I decided that, for the price (on sale at Amazon late December), why not try it out. If I was not pleased, I'd request a refund, so what's to lose?

Once received, I loaded it on my PC and it started to work as advertised on the second reboot.

The instructions warn that it could take up to three reboots. When it did not appear to work on the initial startup, I was quickly becoming skeptical...until l re-read the instructions about 1-3 reboots.

When in doubt, read and re-read the instructions. They are very clear and the screen images etc. are useful.

On the second reboot it was up and running through the 6 steps. Yes it took a lot of time but the "instructions" told me it would as did other customer feedback.

Well, it did take 23 hours. But in fairness, it did my main drive and my back-up and as I have thousands of photos, there was lots to scan.

Yes, it did find malware issues that my Kaspersky AV program, Windows Defender, and Malwarebytes had missed.

Yes, it was easy to resolve them, and yes, the computer runs much faster.

In a way, I'm glad I had some issues it detected. If it had said all was fine, how would I know it really did anything beyond what I already use?

After all was done and cleaned, I had a couple of questions for the support team regarding how to use the Quick Scan and also how to go about scanning my second backup drive normally held off-site. I did not want to do a complete re-scan of the PC and the primary backup drive.

Marco from the Support Team got back to me the next day with thorough responses. That is what impressed me enough to take the time to write this review.

I have since told friends and family about the results I have had so far. They had never heard of the product.

Bottom line: The FixMeStick is a product that appears to work in tandem with my suite of AV stuff, AND it is backed up with a first-rate support staff who personally dealt with my questions. I will do the monthly scans as suggested and get the offered one-month extension. A good marketing idea.

A Canadian success story! Well done, FixMeStick!

Thanks.

It really works!

By Crystal W., Oregon, Verified Reviewer

I was pleasantly surprised, the FixMeStick worked as well as promised. It cleaned up my 5-year-old Dell laptop. I am able to log in and start working on it as if I just bought it. Easy steps to follow. Even a "dummy" like me could easily understand and follow the directions/instructions. I like that I did not have to sit and monitor it while it was scanning for viruses. Great (requested) Christmas gift!

Very good product

By Mario K., Pierrefonds, Quebec, Canada, Verified Reviewer

The FixMeStick was easy to use. Instructions were precise. Software was easy to install. It took about three hours to scan all the files on a very fast computer. After scanning all the files, a list of hidden problem files was listed, with the possibility of deleting them.

I always use Norton Antivirus, which is very good, but with the FixMe Stick, the protection level is even better, as the FixMeStick uses multiple anti-virus programs to check for infected files.

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

Great FixMeStick for Mac

By Peggy J., Stratford, CT, Verified Reviewer

This FixMeStick worked great for my Mac Pro. I think everyone should have one. Also, this is better than taking my computer to the service place to scan. Try it and see how you like it.

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

Boot disk

By Vernon L., St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I am very disappointed in my FixMeStick. I followed the directions on the packaging and the first time I used it the boot device is stripped from my hard drive leaving my laptop inoperable and needing an operating system. The customer service person was very nice, but after many tries, she was unable to resolve the issue.

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

Pleased with results, laptop back to speed

By Stephane D., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I am pleased with the results as it took my laptop that was virtually useless since it was so slow and brought it back to its original speed. I also ran it on my desktop and got good results there as well. Thank you so much.

Use of my FixMeStick

By Ann S., Indiana, Verified Reviewer

I thought this product was very easy to use. I just followed the directions, which by the way were very to understand, and in no time I had it working. My computer has gained speed again, and I feel much better knowing it's all cleaned out! I definitely would recommend it!

First use

By Richard Z., Philadelphia, PA, Verified Reviewer

This is the first time I have used my computer since I used the FixMeStick. Everything seems good so far, but I will find out more as I use it. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Disappointed

By John B., Foam Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I did not think I had a virus, but I did expect to see something about malware and stopping/dropping off the net and stopping pop-ups. It said everything was OK. Maybe I got the wrong FixMeStick. So far, I would NOT recommend purchasing a FixMeStick.

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

FixMeStick for 2 computers

By Diane E., Bartlett, TN, Verified Reviewer

I used the FixMeStick on my two computers and both had viruses which were deleted. I am so glad I bought the FixMeStick. I plan to use it on my two computers monthly for the 12 months. If this keeps my computers running better, I plan to re-order after the 12 months.

Great software

By Stephen P., Tamps, FL, Verified Reviewer

I have used it for seven months now and it has worked great. I think if you are having any trouble try it and I am sure it will fix most of if not all of your problems. I had all kind of trouble when I started and now I have none. I use it once a month just to be safe.

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

Computer still crashing

By John M., Oconto Falls, WI, Verified Reviewer

I had tried to get an online customer service job in the fall of 2013, which I could do from my apartment. To be able to access their programs, I had to download all that information on a flash drive. They then showed me how to insert that flash drive before I started my computer so with FixMeStick all I had to do was put it in the USB port and start my computer, so it immediately went to the FixMeStick. My computer had been constantly crashing on me since mid-August, but if I shut it off then restart it, I can get back in by clicking start windows normally, then putting my password in to access my desktop where I could then access Google Chrome, which I like. At first, it would crash using Chrome and watching Netflix, but then it kept getting worse. I am able to go on Internet Explorer, which I don't normally use, get on the internet and then go into Netflix and can watch movies with no problems, no crashing etc., but now it seems to be affecting Internet Explorer too, but not nearly as much.

I used the FixMeStick and it was easy to use, but I would suggest you be in the area of the computer while it is working so you can put information in as needed. I was amazed at how much faster my computer was going even though the analysis said there were no viruses on my computer. I have AVG antivirus, so I think it does a good job of catching them and not allowing them to infect my computer. I also have Hitman Pro, which would scan my computer whenever I logged in. I am putting off calling CenturyLink Tech Support because it takes so long to get in, and then you have to be there for several hours while they do a screen share and go through your system to see what the problem is which is causing all the crashing.

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