Life Saver!! 
2008-01-04
My computer was acting funny, so I downloaded the trial version and ran some of the scans. What a difference that made! I immediately bought it. This software does exactly what it says it does: Fix you computer and keep it running like new. I don't know what i would have done without it. I hate reformatting and reinstalling my OS.
Trojan and Malware attracter 
2008-01-03
I use it but thankfully I also use McAfee virus software with it. I gave it full access and it attracted several trojans and malware when connecting to the internet. Luckily McAfee picked it up and removed them so I now only allow outbound for this product. It does what it says and things it doesn't say like being a magnet for bad stuff. if you buy this also get a good virus program and firewall and only allow this product to have out bound access only. Also set a restore point before install.
"fix It" says it all 2007-12-24
I have used fix it utilities since version 5. Version 8 works very well. The registry fixer does a very good job, and does it at a reasonable speed. I have recommended this software to several friends, and they have used it to greatly improve the performance of their systems. The anti-virus is from Trend Micro and it performs very well. This software is a very good alternative to Norton Systemworks.
Fix-It Utilities 8 has problems! I'll stick with Fix-It Utilities 6!

I am a software tech-
I've been happily using Fix-It Utilities 6 for years. I ONLY use 6's Utilities, and disable their anti-virus (see my Amazon review).
The only thing I didn't like about 6, was their slow reg (registry) scans.
I read another user review about 8 having fast reg scans (NOT!), so I decided to try their 15 day free trial option (DO THIS FIRST!).
It messed up my system BADLY, and I had to completely restore with Acronis True Image 9.0 (I did a full System backup, just prior to trying 8! Restore took only 3 minutes (Read my Amazon review!).
Fix-It 8 cons-
1. Their new file cleaner is WAY TOO agressive!
They give you two pages+- Listing dozens of types of files for you to pre-select for cleaning??? VERY CONFUSING!?
I checked the few that I was fairly confident with, and deleted them (luckily I opted to keep them in a backup file/settings...)?
All kinds of programs wouldn't work, uninstall help files disappered...
-The safe file cleaner on 6, never gave me problems (auto-settings)!
2. The 8 reg Fix/cleaner found no more errors, and was just as slow!
BOTTOM LINE!- You can still find Fix-It 6 CHEAP (Fix-It 7 gets BAD reviews!), on Amazon...
Be sure & pre-read my updated Fix-It 6 Amazon review, for my #1 tips/picks on- reg/file cleaners, anti-malware, firewall (mostly free!)!
Great Software - completely saved my computer 2007-11-15
My computer was running into some major issues and I suspected that spyware or some other virus or malware was causing the problems. I installed Fix-It Utilities and the difference was like night and day. Not only did it remove all of the spyware on my computer, but it also optimized it, making it run faster than when I first got it! (I think HP installed a bunch of crappy software when I first got my computer. The startup manager included in Fix It took care of that)
Pros:
Spyware & Antivirus!
Startup Manager makes your computer load faster
Registry Cleaner removed all invalid entries
One click system optimizer
and most of all... 3 user license! I have it now installed on my personal PC, sister's pc, and parents laptop
Cons:
Doesn't support Windows 98. (I know, I need to upgrade)
fix-it utilities 8 
2008-06-04
I have used Fix-it utilities7 before, and I was very satisfied with it. Fix-it Utilities 8 is just a newer update of the old one. I work on the same way, and is good protesting.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED 2008-04-03
I realize that my review is not about this product, but I think it is relevant to potential purchasers of Avanquest products. I do not know anything about this particular program, but have had considerable difficulty with Avanquest as detailed below.
I purchased My Ultimate Organizer 7.0 via download and subsequent key.
I am not making this up - the product displayed a message in Serbo-Croatian telling me the key had expired.
Four hours later with Technical Support and the problem is still not resolved (despite erasing the program, reinstalling, trying different keys, searching the Windows Registry, etc). It takes a full hour on hold to get a technical support representative and at the conclusion of the last session, I was told to contact Customer Service for a CD copy in the hopes that that would resolve the issue. Now Customer Service tells me Technical Support must send me the copy, although Technical Support says otherwise. I am out $30 for a program that is at this point, totally useless, and left adrift by Avanquest who has my money and refuses to help me.
I would purchase Avanquest products with extreme caution. If you have a Technical Support issue, you will have to wait a minimum of 60 minutes on hold (no 800 number), and then get fairly substandard service after that.
It does fix!! 2008-03-11
I have a hp laptop and was having problems with the video drivers everytime I would see video my computer screen would turn black and would lock up, and I had to reboot. Ever since Ive used the optimizer feature it took away the problem and it has been 6 months without any reoccurence. I highly reccomend. It has also picked up viruses,spyware and harmfull cookies that even my Mcafee program wouldnt pick up.
Fix-It Utilities 8 2008-02-25
After installing this software, my system constantly froze. I finally decided to uninstall it, but it wouldn't uninstall either. I'd get an error message that said there was a corrupt file and it could not be removed. I finally had to use system restore to get my computer running again.
Avanquest is a black hole. 2008-01-09
Fix-It 8 refuses to install on my computer. I tried to contact Avanquest technical support to get help and never got a response. Tried to call the 800 number on the box and was steered back to the web site being told that they only do technical support for Fix-It via the web site. Having problems with other Avanquest products that will not do what they are suppose to do. I will not buy any Avanquest products again.
