I do run an anti-virus program but for some reason, my computer just didn't seem to be working right, so instead of taking it to a shop, I decided to purchase the FixMeStick and try it first. I am glad I did. I plugged in the stick and it did take a couple of tries but then it went to work. It found 5 infections and repaired, everything works great now. Great product.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
