SmartPCFixer Reviews

Regarding its variety of features, SmartPCFixer is one of the most complete and useful registry cleaners out there. Besides presenting a wide range of different settings and configurations, you can fully customize your client by ticking a few boxes. However, if you’re not too keen on messing with the settings or you just want to get into the action as soon as possible, you can use three pre-configured modes (Default, Home Mode or Office Mode) and simply let the program adapt to your needs.

Since its developer is partnered with Microsoft, the program is only available for Windows operating systems. Even though this seems to be a con at first, this partnership allowed LionSea to come up with a rather unique feature called Windows Update. Not to be confused with the default updater of Windows operating systems, this feature checks your system and only updates it when it is truly needed. Furthermore, this feature can correct mistakes certain updates contain, which comes handy for all users, especially for those using Microsoft’s notorious and allegedly last OS, Windows 10.

Other than the above, there are also a whole lot of other interesting features such as the ActiveX blocker, IE manager, the scheduler, the file splitter and shredder, the uninstall manager, DLL download, disk defragmentation and the list could go on till eternity. In other words: you name it, and SmartPCFixer offers it.

As scanning is the first stage of error detection, it is important to have a program that doesn’t take too long to find whatever issues your device has. Unfortunately, that’s not the case with SmartPCFixer: it needed 9 minutes to scan the entire test machine and find all 786 items to be either fixed or removed. Truth be told, this is quite unsatisfactory at first, but remember that the program’s performance always depends on various factors such as how much content you have on your computer and which scanning options you enable. For the record, we used the default scanning settings.

Still, scanning your PC with SmartPCFixer is always a smooth experience, because the overall CPU usage always remains consistent.

Before jumping into the repairs, it is important to remember two things. The first is that this provider does indeed create backups and restore points, radically decreasing the potential risk of serious harm to your computer while the fixing process is on. Second, you cannot manually choose what to delete from the threat list, even though you can see all threats and filter them by location after each scan. This means that you can only fix all issues at once, which, due to the aforementioned restore points, is just a minor nuance you have to live with.

However, if you go deeper into SmartPCFixer’s already extensive range of features by navigating throughout the versatile menus, you can find out that deleting is not your sole option. In fact, you are given the chance of fixing some issues, instead of deleting them altogether, an option that is often more effective than using “heavy artillery”.

If you are willing to purchase SmartPCFixer, be aware that its pricing structure is not consistent at all. The reason behind this inconsistency is the fact that the company behind this software often offers different promotions and flash sales to the general public. This is ok if you aim at discounts, but far from ideal if you want to compare SmartPCFixer with other products before making the final decision.

With that being said, SmartPCFixer is available in three versions. Your first option is a 7-day trial of the unlimited software which is only $5.99. The other option is the annual subscription (the only one available), costing $59.90 with a nice 60-day money back guarantee. However, if you need only the testing and scanning features, you can download a limited version free of charge.

As for payment methods, SmartPCFixer uses MyCommerce for any online transactions and accepts credit cards or PayPal.

SmartPCFixer’s customer service is a two-edged knife. Although the staff claims they are available 24/7, the social media pages can be considered dead, and the only real contact method, the e-mail support, still requires you to submit a ticket. Despite this minor annoyance, requests are answered in a promptly manner within 1 business day.

However, SmartPCFixer makes up for the above mistake by providing a quite over the top FAQ page and dedicated articles covering more specific topics. You can also visit a page where help documents can be found and check the innovative screenshots page if you need a user guide with illustrations. Last but not least, you can also head to a very complete and useful blog full of several how-to guides and much other content.

The fact that you can set your own preferences, or opt for the default ones, is definitely a huge advantage of this program. SmartPCFixer also performs well regarding other features such as simple scans, the full customization of the client and the unique Windows Update. What’s more important is that the program never lets you lose any important files thanks to backups, restore points and the option to fix errors instead of deleting them. Although we already stated our problems with the pricing policy, SmartPCFixer is still affordable, especially if you make use of the many temporary promotions or the free version.
