Fix-It Utilities 12 Professional [Old Version]

Yikes.... 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!

This product almost wreaked havoc on a brand new laptop! I bought this product in March to help me work on the registry for my old computer. It seemed to work fine back then. I installed it to my new HD laptop. It worked ok at first, but when it updated, it literally wiped every program from my PC. I had to use recovery to get it to work again. I was not sure if it was my new computer at fault. I reinstalled it and again, the patch causes the computer to erase itself. I have immediately uninstalled it from my computer.

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.

this program NEVER WORKED RIGHT ON EITHER OF MY COMPUTERS I TRULY BELEIVE IT WAS CORRUPTED WHEN I GOT IT. IM JUST SORRY I DIDNT SAY ANYTHG THEN

I installed this, ran it, rebooted my computer and when it started up I was locked out of everything. My programs didnt show up. I thought my whole hard disk and backup drive had been erased. I was even locked out of my CD drive so I couldnt use the repair disk. After a while of trying everything I could and seeing many errors, I figured out the problem. Somehow this program has erased my Windows authorization data. Windows does not run properly if it thinks it is not a genuine copy and my proof that it was genuine had been erased. Fortunately, I found that the restore option still worked and I had a backup from the previous day. Even the restore didnt fix everything: the Windows Update no longer works, so I may have to reinstall Windows and reload all my programs eventually. Do not buy this product; it has no clue what to delete and what not to.

First it analyses your computer and finds 300+ things to fix, then it suggests you disable your protection software like Norton or McAfee, because theirs is just so much more powerful and will protect you better. At the end of the day my computer was not any faster with all the fixes, but the program wants to install new updates and fixes daily. I took it out of my computer. If you set your computer to defrag weekly and follow basic steps to check it monthly, you do not need this software; it is a hassle and NOT WORTH THE MONEY.

There are a number of PC utility packages out there. Symantec (Norton), Avanquest, System Mechanic, etc all make system utility programs that are supposed to help you remove old programs, de-clutter your hard drive, remove viruses and trojans, recover lost files, securely delete old files, etc.

It is a toss up between giving this 3 stars or 4. Either seems appropriate so I will lean towards 4 stars because it works and that is what really counts.

I never saw where this helped me one bit. It could not be updated yet it continuously asks you to update it. It also has its own little virus (a sales pitch) that pops up and I cannot get rid of it. Stay away from this unless you like running out in the back yard and burning cash.

I loaded on my laptop. I ran it and found problems. The big problem was it caused my laptop to stop working. Had to re-load my laptop.
