  • FixMeStick - StartMeStick
    Verified BuyerReviewed by BUTTER2004 - September 27, 2020

    FixMeStick - StartMeStick is a gadget that is easy to take along for use on PC's and laptops. It is an external virus-removal device. The FixMeStick is a plug-in USB tool that scans your computer for viruses before your computer boots into its normal operating system. The FixMeStick automatically updates itself and removes the infections that conventional antivirus software often can't detect.

  • Brought my computer back from the dead
    Reviewed by  - September 1, 2020

    I had an old PC that I was never using. Instead of buying a new one, I got StartMeStick so I can use that old PC to browse the internet! Saved me tons of money on a new computer when all I need it for is the Internet anyway.... Very useful. Definitely recommend.

    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
