I have used Fix it utilites nearing 6 years now. I have never had a virus get on my pc since. When I had Norton, I had over 10. Reason being, Norton does not act quick enough, and takes forever to do a scan. Fix it utilites will catch a virus in seconds, quarantine, and do a complete scan in 10 to 15 minutes,(depending on how many files.) I kid you not.
It does not integrate into your system , bog it down, or force you to keep it. Not to mention the other hundred things it can do aside of anti virus. I have, in the last year, had over 30 people switch to it. They won't buy anything else after they use it. It also has adware scanning and cleaning now and does a full scan in about a minute. i tested it against adaware and it found the same things in way less time.
Also, it seems to have a 3 to 4 year run before you need to buy a new version which comes with version upgrades for free in between. What is Norton, every year? I get the latest updates quickly, they download and install in minutes. I also get recovery commander with it and it is easy as heck to use, and recovers great. it also makes check points if you like, before anything gets installed which is great.
Like I said, many features and far too many for me to list but the best is the anit-virus for the main reason, it works better than any other I have tried. It is real time and has email scan, file scan manually, etc...and puts Norton to shame. I don't say this to put Norton down, but anyone who uses fix it, would never go back to norton or any other, this I could almost guarantee. If you go to a web site with a virus potential, it pops up immediately and either warns you or tells you a java virus, etc... just got into your files or is on the web site, and shows you where if you remove it or does it on it's own. Very good anti virus. I pay 39.00 or 29.00 for my 3 year upgrade. A very fair price. Note: I am not a newbie, I have been into computers for quite a few years running now and have quite a bit more than average experience, just to let people know that I have ran and tested more software than I can count and that I do have a good working knowledge of how well certain softwares work. (I say this so you understand I didn't buy a first time software, and stay with it or refuse to try others. ) But still, stay with what makes you happy.
