What makes our product unique Non-techie people can use our products to do things that required a PhD in IT before we came along.

Title: Doesn’t work
Review: Tried on MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. Tried the web site found and update if you r fixme stick doesn’t work. After a download and run got the message that it couldn’t U.N. mount fixme drive. Now the drive doesn’t work at all. Wrote company email they sent a new boot holding down 4 keys on start up. Didn’t work either. Had to reinstall os system on MacBook Pro. Fixme stick still won’t boot up. Had to buy Norton 360, cost more but it worked. Suggest you do the same

Title: It took a while to get it to work.
Review: I did not start up as instructions said it should. Then I got a few people from their product help line, just telling me over and over to do what the instructions said to do. Finally after several different people contacted me, I got someone who knew what he was doing. Then It worked great. At least they kept trying.

Title: This product is amazing!!!
Review: I read all the reviews about this product. Some were glowing, others were critical. But my computer was getting slower and slower every day, and I figured I had nothing to lose if the FixMe Stick didn't work. So I went ahead and ordered it.I could not get the stick started. I chatted with customer support, and they told me that I needed a wired keyboard, and that would get things going. I bought the cheapest one I could find, and tried again.The program ran perfectly. It didn't take vert long either. And I have a whole new Mac! It is so fast - pages load up quickly and I don't see those spinning wheels any more. I am thrilled that I don't have to shell out money for a new Mac, and I feel much safer knowing the viruses and spyware have been removed. It's pretty amazing when you find a product that does what it promises to do. I am recommending this product to everyone I know!

Title: Customer Support not helpful as other Reviewers suggest.
Review: I was very hopeful that this would eliminate the "virus" I picked up on my Mac. It was very easy to use. I just followed the simple instructions. Scan completed; however, I still had the pop up ads. Having read the reviews, I thought Customer Support would be very helpful. I called them. No one answered; had to leave a message. I called three times. No one ever picked up. It always went into voicemail. (and after about two weeks, no one ever did call me back). Having no response via phone, I emailed. I received what seemed like a form letter saying they were sorry FixMeStick didn't work, and was given a link to two sites that 'may' be helpful. This letter (note) referred to "Control Panel" and "Add or Remove Programs"...I had no idea how to get to those on my Mac. Apparently, they are items on a PC. I emailed back to them that the links didn't work, that I have no idea where the Control Panel was, and that I still need help. FOUR days later, after I had emailed back that a Mac expert help me get rid of the malware, I got a response suggesting two different links to try. I don't think they even read the emails. What prompted me to write this review is the last entry from them. "Your request (#XXXX) has been solved" . Yes it was. But not by FixMeStick.

Title: It worked!
Review: The fix me stick Worked exactly as advertised. The only thing that might be a problem for some people is that you need to have a Wired Mouse and Keyboard. I was able to use my wired keyboard and Mouse from my PC. Total time for this to complete the process was about 90 minutes.

Title: Tried to run, but failed
Review: What a waste of time. Tried to run it on my mac, it ran for hours trying to start and it never would hook up with my network. So to me the product was worthless

Review: I bought this because my iMac was having serious problems. I was struggling to make the stick do the things it was supposed to do, as things weren't happening as described. I contacted their online support via the Chat facility. They soon established that I didn't have a virus but corrupted files. They were able to establish this by using the Fixmestick to remote control my Mac. They sent me out a USB repair stick (free) and backed up my hard drive for me. They then used the repair stick to correct the corrupted files and I'm up and running just as before.You are not on your own if you are struggling. Excellent service!

Review: Purchased for MacBook Air to remove Adware. It found no viruses or Trojans. When I restarted the laptop, the OS was corrupted. Could not boot unless in Safe Mode. Apple had to help rebuild the entire OS. May be because this stick tells you to turn off journaling. A terrible experience. Do not recommend for Mac.The PC version worked very well and would give it 5 stars.
