What is it?
The FixMeStick is a plug-in USB tool that scans your computer for viruses before your computer boots into its normal operating system. The FixMeStick automatically updates itself and removes the infections that conventional antivirus software often can’t detect.
Is the FixMeStick for one-time use?
No, you use it every time you need it (monthly is a good habit). You can use the FixMeStick an unlimited number of times on your selected devices during your subscription period.
Will it find the virus that I have? What if it doesn’t?
Because there are so many new viruses released every day, no single antivirus company can detect them all. FixMeStick is powered by an embedded multi-scanner that combines industry-leading technology from Avira, McAfee, and Sophos, and accesses even more engines over the internet to achieve up-to-the-second responses to the latest threats.
If you think the FixMeStick may have missed something, our technical support team can help. You can contact us via email.
My techie friend says he can make essentially the same thing as a FixMeStick for free, is this true?
Hacker types can create their own bootable scanner, but the FixMeStick is a better solution for most non-techies.
- Loads three different antivirus scanners from three different antivirus companies and runs them in parallel, in as little as 512 MB of RAM, and with similar throughput as a desktop “on-demand” scan.
- Doesn’t store anything on the user’s PC (definitions remain on the USB).
- Connects to wired and WiFi networks, and automatically connects to the user’s WiFi network to install the latest virus definitions.
- Boots on just about any PC or Mac.
- Has a built-in remote connect client (TeamViewer).
- Customer support provided by real people with technical and social skills to help people.
- Actually, that makes the FixMeStick a better solution for techies too, unless they have a lot of time on their hands.
