Guys, this is interesting! FixMeStick is no ordinary USB stick that we use to store files (or anything) on the go, this USB stick is a life saver that helps you to remove malware and virus from your computer.
FixMeStick is a malware/virus detection and removal product for Windows that uses a LiveUSB architecture, Lubuntu as it’s OS, and three anti-virus engines from Kaspersky Labs, Sophos, and GFI VIPRE.

This USB device is simple to use. Simply plug in the FixMeStick into an infected computer, reboot the computer and FixMeStick will take care everything from there. The FixMeStick will scan your computer during reboot with its built-in multi-scanner powered by not one, but three anti-virus engines: Kaspersky, Sophos, and GFI’s VIPRE. As the process is done during PC reboot, the viruses and malware can’t run (or interfere the removal process) because the Windows is not running.
When FixMeStick is done cleaning off the malware, you simply pull the USB stick out and reboot your computer. Your computer should be in a good state of health (at least the computer is now running better than before).
Can FixMeStick cure the latest viruses or malware? Of course it can. In fact, the FixMeStick can automatically update itself (with latest virus definitions) whenever it detects internet connection on your computer. Now, does this means that we can get rid of any security software product on our computer? Nope, you still need a security software installed on your computer. Having the FixMeStick alongside can add an extra layer of security protection to your computer.
The FixMeStick can be purchased online for $49.99 for one-year subscription license that can be used on 3 computers. The price includes the FixMeStick hardware and software plus the virus definition update services for one year. The shipping fee is around $2. It takes $24.99 per year to renew the license.
