Will this stop software that hijacks search engine, making it switch, eg, from Google to Bing or Yahoo?

Not sure about that one. I think that if the virus that does this is in the database then it should pick it up. The stick does an update before running it's scan. I would guess that if this is a virus it should pick it up. If you need further info try the website and contact support. They are very helpful.

I have no idea; I have never had your type of problem. I can only say that it is extremely effective in knocking out viruses.

This problem is usually caused by programs that download when you download something else. One way to avoid that is to always click the "Custom Installation" option and then carefully go through the options and make sure that you unclick any boxes that allow other pieces of software to install.

I have never run into that situation, although I think a friend told me that happened to him. I run the fix me stick once or twice a week, maybe that's why it hasn't happened to me.

In my experience, no. My machine was infected with the trojan.boweliks browser hijacker and Fixmestick did not remove it.

No! It only looks for virus, malware ect. It is designed to find and quarantine things that window based software can not find because the virus ect. Is window based. It does not use a windows operating system.

Will this stick remove the Groovorio virus? And it is really any better than free programs like SuperAntiSpyware? If it can't remove the trojan viruses, like someone mentioned here, what else does it not help remove? I need help with the biggie things.

It seems to work like it's supposed to if you have a problem with it you can contact them and they will help you through it. One of the problems I was having a my browser was freezing up on me and it did fix that.

Definitely it blocks up to 1500 numbers. it has a permanent storage of up to this amount in its blacklist

No. Mountain Lion will protect you from Malicious software. Reality, Anything is Possible.

It CAN be programmed, and by default, its behavior is different in different settings... ie in the browser, it selects text, sorta like double right clicking a block of text. I just reprogram mine so I'm not sure exactly what the behavior is elsewhere.. Their software is easy to use, though, so it's all good.

Yes, if you allow it. You can program if off. I did. It announces as your directory list is stored. Could be annoying.

Yep. You can get the Amazon app, or go through Google or any other Web browser. I use DuckDuckgo for my search engine because they don't track your personal information like the other browsers do. Try it and you see!

No, you'll have to mute it via Windows or directly in the software (like skype).

yes, but you'll need to call the tech no. for setup. I had trouble with some websites with Firefox, but it works well with Google Chrome.

The web browser works just like your laptop or destop pc. I limit what my children can access on theirs with a program but I have not had any issues with things I'm looking up.

Interestingly, the Google search bar doesn't really work. Every time you use Google search it stops or kicks you off the internet. You will need to use another search engine and go through that way. Keep in mind that will work only for so long before you can't go online at all. Hope this helps.

Not specifically. It only blocks which sites you can access, not the content or functions which may be hidden in the site. Instagram is a great example - it makes it through the filter (unless you specify otherwise) and its' content can contain porn. So, bottom line - just make sure you set BUC to access the internet site supporting your application and you should be fine. BUC has the best technical support (real person on the phone) I've found. Call and talk with them if you have questions. It's a very good product.

I'm pretty sure it's about the OS, Chrome. Since it's not widely used, there is little incentive for nefarious types to create one. Therefore, any system using that OS should be equally safe.

Absolutely. It will clear the code from the memory, however, if the code returns, you still have issues.

No. It would have to be a virus made specifically for the Webos to do any damage.

Absolutely not. It has got very erratic behavior. I was so annoyed every time I used I had to return

If you're using the logitech software that maps all the keys for you then yes, you can map the key to open a website, toggle another program, etc

According to Microsoft yes...as long as it clicks...your good to go. Always call and double check yourself. Hope this helps.
