Fix-It Utilities 12 Professional [Old Version]

My experience with Fix-It Utilities 12 Professional was just fine, but I have to admit that my needs for it as yet have been relatively simple. I installed this on an old laptop specifically to use the Shredder function to wipe the harddrive before recycling in the computer. The program installed just fine and I proceeded to wipe everything. It performed this task with relative ease. I cannot speak to the other aspects of the program but this part of it worked just fine.

Once upon a time the Avanquest products were respectable. Ive used both System Suite and Fix-It Utilities. I had Fix-It Utilities 12 Pro installed on my computers. I uninstalled it even though my contract still had more than three months left. I really wanted to believe it was as good as it was back when it was at version #5. Through the years their products have gone from competitive and reliable to junk. Customer service is terrible. Emails do not get answered. Their FAQ and Forums are a joke. Whenever the product is upgraded any settings have to be reset. One product upgrade removed the software, but did not replace it with anything. I had to reinstall from the disk. Windows does not recognize it as any kind of anti-malware sofware. The only good thing I have to say about it is, to my knowledge it did its job, when I installed a new virus checker, it found no viruses on my computer. The problem is the program is horribly clunky and customer service for a paid product is non-existent..

Stay clear of this program at all costs. It will only make your computer much worse. The program itself is a virus. The creators of this embarassment of a program should get a lifetime jail sentence for stupidity! Get this company and their pathetic software out of the game. If you want your computer to work much worse then get this horrible software. Rot in Hell Avanquest!!!!!!!!!

The shipment came on time. I used the product. Its work fine.

This collection of mainentence software utilities is quick, easy and seemingly effective. Easy to install, it detects preexisting virus protection and gives you the option to use it or theirs. The utilities are divided into three separate catgfories: Security, Optimise and Fix and Maintain. Security lets you set up different types of scans and set up block list. Optimize has a fast disk defrag tool among others. Fix and Maintain deals with system restore and file recovery and a scheduler for automatic maintenence. The company also provided a rather thick owners manual which I appreciated.

Well, I dont know how it does on new computers, but I installed this on my older version HP and Ive had nothing but problems. Now I cant get my printer to work, and other programs are having a lot of problems. I wish I would never had installed this thing. The computer was fine before I tried this. I dont know if it was this program, or if I got a virus by chance at the same time--but Im now very disgusted.

Work ok used only on old xp computors

I got this from Vine so long ago that I dont even remember it. I reviewed them at the time but that reiew seems to have gone missing. I need a review posted to remain eligible for the program, so here it is.

In fact, some web pages didnt load right while using it with Firefox. The tasks ran fine, and I liked how it had Intelligence watching for problems - but I never got an alert when it was time to optimize. I think there are better fix-it tools on the market like JV Powertools,

Like Fix-it uti!ity. Dont like running install and getting an error. The error was because of an older version on computer. Had to guess about reason. I bought this because I have to clean old version every month and reinstall. The install is a lengthy procedure. Sure it doesnt cost me anything but my time but after a time I get annoyed. The newer version looks exactly the same. Time will tell if I get the dreaded cant connect to server and my only option is click OK and the program quits. I see that there is much negative feedback on all virus protection programs. So Im just sticking to old faithful for now. After using it for a while I find it had to be deleted and reinstalled as my older one. I gained nothing so its just another piece of junk.
