That being said, it will also boot and run on other computers (eg. a Linux laptop). However, the scans are intended for windows malware.

As for performance - I didn’t notice the FixMeStick completing the scans much faster than the live USB. But that could be due to USB 2.0 on my test device, or other hardware. | As for performance - I didn’t notice the FixMeStick completing the scans much faster than the live USB.

The stick can only be registered on 3 computers at a time, and the updates only run for a year. Amazon (Germany) has the stick available for 60€.
