I was recently hacked by a bogus tech service. They invaded my computer in that they loaded it with all kinds of "spyware, malware" along with the supposed antivirus and other preventative programs.
The good stuff turned out to be mostly cheap and inefficient, the bad was really bad. Worst of all, they had actual control whenever they serviced. Turned out they attempted identity theft. Long story short, I disconnected from the internet, removed all programs that I thought were from them. Went to the store, got the FixMeStick, followed all the instructions, was offered top of the line McAffee for next to nothing. The FixMeStick went first - it took quite a while. Then came the McAfee Total Protection. I can't believe the difference. My computer is running faster, no freeze ups, great. I intend to run the FixMeStick on a weekly basis. First time I have ever felt that I am able to handle this aspect of having a computer. "I've never done my own service before." Best money ever spent!
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
