From what I can understand now, once the stick is installed, IT STAYS IN MY COMPUTER.
Now I have a new "browser." I had to re-start FB and SKYPE...my saved bookmarks have not transcribed over.
I think this is a great DEVICE, one must realize that it is a new browser so just be aware.
I am truly grateful because it has probably saved my old computer. JUST realize that you are starting on a new canvas...you have to re-create your old bookmarks.
I am brand new and so as I use it more, more will come to light.
THANK YOU FixMeStick!
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
