Fix-It Utilities 12 Professional [Old Version]

Greater than one weekPurchased and installed and made a total mess of my system. Not able to get it straightened out, even with their tech support(?), folks. All they did was send me a link to remove any remnants of old program and made problems worse than ever. Had to do several power off re-boots and grab f keys to get to a position to wipe it out. Wasted money and much wasted time, which is extremely important to me.

> 3 dayOnce 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..

> 3 dayYikes.... stay away from this program...... Have been running it a couple of months, and now the Active Defense program has gone rouge - has me rebooting my computer many times because of some pcreg.exe program. It is impossible to get any help from the program, since the Active Defense keeps finding more problems as it runs through my computer. There seems to be no telephone support number that you can call. This is worse than having a virus or malware!

> 3 dayWell, 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.

> 3 dayLike many reviewers on Amazon, I suggest that potential buyers stay away from this product. If you do go against this advice and that of other reviewers, keep the box so you can request a refund.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayI found no significant improvement with the performance of my computer with the install of this software. Lots of annoying popups for upgrades or continued service. My biggest nightmare is it WONT UNINSTALL COMPLETELY FROM MY COMPUTER. No luck getting anyone on the telephone. Im still waiting for an email reply to my requests for help.
