I've been using this software for the last three years, even though most of the time I haven't had a malware issue. Until recently when I used the FixMeStick on my wife's laptop, a malware issue was found and removed. It's always better to be careful than have your computer to crash and that too happened to me in the past before using FixMeStick. I will continue using my FixMeStick and will always feel protected by its use.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
