Overview of the Smart PC Fixer

By Andria Zamorano


Spyware Doctor, Malewarebytes, Smart PC Fixer-these are just three of the hundreds of registry cleaners on the market these days, promising to be the most effective means of finding and eliminating harmful viruses and activity in your system. Based on price ranges and traditional sounding names, many have chosen the Smart Fixer throughout the year, but is it all that it claims to be?

Prior to installing any program, always search for available information to educate you on your purchase. The Smart PC Fixer was introduced to the market in February of 2012. It featured an extremely user friendly interface that testers thought of as "intuitive", working efficiently by cutting hidden tools. All functions for use are easily laid out, right in the main menu.

This PC cleaner has the same options you would find in the majority of other systems, including a system optimization aid, a system fix detail, a scan and clean choice, a system tools guide, and of course a backup feature. Seemingly, the marketable Smart Fixer has exactly what an operator needs to ensure a smooth and quick running computer.

System optimization is the main way to speed up the performance of your computer. Use of this tool makes it possible to minimize the clutter and other useless space-takers lagging on your PC's service, initial startup, menu, and desktop. The intention, of course, is to achieve maximum performance.

The system fix tool is actually quite handy. Designed to scan the entirety of the computer for errors, it diagnoses these breaks or corruptions and gives the operator the option to fix or delete them. Broken shortcuts, ActiveX, Winsock2 troubles, and other associated malfunctioning files waste valuable space on your computer, leading to a slower running and more annoying system.

Scan and clean is the option that is used most commonly as the selling point. Along with the obvious, this feature also comes with an evidence and junk file cleaner. Although this evidence cleaner in particular may sound like incentive enough to set the PC Fixer apart from the rest, it is actually a classy way of explaining how it will delete your browsing history and internet cookies.

System Tools is a folder containing other helpful ways to help your computer maximize its performance potential. It features a file shredder, a file splitter, an uninstall manager, a disk defragmenter, a windows update system checker, a BHO manager, an ActiveX blocker, and an internet explorer toolkit that offers restore and management options.

Any registry cleaner available today should come equipped with a backup tool, which backs up computer files prior to scanning and repairing. Essential for those that are not so technologically advanced, this comes in handy when you accidentally delete an important file that could lead to a total disrupt in computer usage. Backup is always important to use.

Unfortunately, the Smart PC Fixer did not pass the worthwhile computer cleaner test. The only visible perk of the program was the easily navigated home page, which is not the most useful feature in scanning software. The scan feature itself caused other programs to lag when used simultaneously, and worked at slower pace than most.

The accuracy of the Smart Fixer's scanner was also a disappointment. Removal of errors is guaranteed, but that depends detrimentally upon detection. Particularly malicious files are smart at disguising themselves, and this PC Fixer would have put Sherlock Holmes to shame. While it can't be said that it is useless or simply a sham, there are several other available scanning systems in the same price range that produced a much more acceptable result.
