Fix Me Stick for PC's?

$140? incompetence or greed. A 5 dollar thumb drive and a bootable free kaspersky image and let it run.

^^^^ THAT.

last I checked, Kapersky doesn't fix registry errors or remove rootkits

true, but if you can remove the virii you can mostly get in to fix things or at least save what is important. rootkits are a pain but in most cases I have seen are a lower level problem. your mileage may vary though.

Google TDSSKILLER and it will take you to the Kaspersky utility for rootkit removal.

You guys do realize that the majority of us unwashed heathens have NO idea what the hell you're talking about, right? That's what makes this little magic thingie perfect for us. Maybe one of you 'puter whizzes should make and market something like this? Make yerself a million bucks and throw a BBQ for the rest of us.

Hello- my name is Corey Velan and I'm a founder of FixMeStick. Just wanted to clear up that the FixMeStick connects to our backend every time it is run to get all the latest malware definitions so it can clean up the latest and baddest malware. Also, the FixMeStick does remove rootkits, but doesn't clean up the registry. The FixMeStick gets the really bad stuff out of the way and then most regular anti-virus programs can clean up the registry.

Interesting! How did you know we were discussing it here? Just curious.

We have a google alert (http://www.google.com/alerts) set up that sends us an email whenever FixMeStick appears on the web. I'd be happy to answer any more questions if you have them.

That's cool! I'm too much of an old technotarded geezer to understand this stuff, but I was wondering if you had some way of knowing when people searched for info about your product. My buddy Bryan says he was very impressed with it! Thrilled, even. Saved his PC.
