Fix-It Utilities 12 Professional [Old Version]

Like 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.

Crashed all the time. I threw it away

I put the word Professional in caps because I believe this product is for people who really know and understand computers and the OS. I let Fix it clean out unwanted or unneeded files and then couldnt open some of my regularly used programs and had to re install them. If you know what you are doing and take the time to review the list supplied you can find a lot of junk that will help make your computer better, fix issues and make it faster. But if you dont know what you are doing, I think it can be dangerous. Id suggest NOT going with the default lists and options but instead to examine and research everything before you allow Fix-It to fix it.

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.

I am someone who only has a basic knowledge when it comes to computers so I wasnt sure if I was going to be able to set up and run this by myself. As luck would have it the instructions were really easy to follow and I was able to accomplish using this without any other assistance.

I am with the others on this site that say I have not seen the blue screen of death for quite some time until I installed this product.

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!!!!!!!!!

This did not help my problems on my computer. It did not clean off the clutter that

Buy one of their product once and the will hound with special offer E-mails twice a day for the rest of your life! Unsubscribing from their mailing list does no good, the SPAM just keeps coming!

As other reviewers have mentioned, it can take a couple of tries to load this software. It was well worth the effort, though. This software, which comes with the license to use on up to 5 computers, does a tremendous job of cleaning up files and improving performance.
