Hello group:
Has anyone used a FixMeStick to fix computer issues like virus problems and key tracking
hacking? Does it really fix such problems or create new ones?
Thanx for any comments that are posted.

I don't know any classic computers that it can run on.
So, you might get more useful answers from a group that uses modern
computers. Or you could Google it, and read some shill reviews.

A friend loaned me one and it didn't do a thing--but then, I'm running
Linux.

I am working on a USB interface for my Sinclair ZX 80.
The biggest problem im facing is how to buffer the 16GB through my 1kb of
program RAM. It's proving to be very slow.
Just as soon as I can get that working I'm hoping to be able to read these
devices.

Scorched earth, it's the only way to be sure.
Never trusted a system after compromise, even vintage ones :P
Thanks,

On Classic machines, a low-level format of the hard drive, done on another
machine, should be fine, or even after a clean floppy boot (but "clean
floppy boot" seemed to go away with WIN95 - "Why am I getting hard drive
activity before even getting the prompt?")
But, with over-writeable BIOS, I'm not so sure any more.
BTW, in lieu of SUBSCRIBING to FixMeStick, there are other ones available.
IFF you can follow instructions (an obvious obstacle for FixMeStick's
target customers), you can download and create a wide variety of them.
Some CD, some USB.
Even Microsoft has one! "Windows Defender Offline" does all of the steps
for you to create a 300MB BOOTABLE USB thumb drive for XP, Win7, 8,
10, that goes straight to running its own copy of Microsoft "Security
Essentials".
