After a series of internet spam attacks, I plugged in the FixMeStick to my computer. This was approximately four years ago and I can say that I have had no problems ever since. Actually, it was not all that simple. I did talk with some local "repair" folks but got a sense that they were not legitimate. I will leave it at that. What they offered seemed like a long term deal involving regular visits and ongoing service expenses. The FixMeStick could not be more simple. You plug it in and the viruses etc. simply are no longer a problem.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
