I have nothing bad to say
I have nothing bad to say. I emailed right after I purchased it. They said it would take 48 hours to get a response, but I had one in a matter of minutes. And had my printer up and running. That was fast. I appreciate you.

Fast Response
Fortect reaches out to fast and resolves issues. I've had many anti virus companies over my life time but this one is by far the best one.

I would give them a zero stars
I would give them a zero stars, but I can't. This piece of crap program made my computer unusable. DO NOT but this if you are looking to fix your computer. It will not work. The program will not even let me input the license key because the activate key does not work. I am waiting to here back about how it is all my fault before looking into legal action against the company.

Hi Bill,
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this situation must be.
We would like to clarify that the activation issue you described is not expected behavior of Fortect. In most cases, problems with entering or activating a license key are related to connection issues, or activation mismatches—and these can usually be resolved quickly with the help of our support team.
Fortect is designed to help improve system performance and should not render a computer unusable. If something like this occurs, it’s important for us to review the case in detail so we can identify what happened and assist you properly.
We strongly recommend reaching out to us directly at support@fortect.com so we can investigate your concern and guide you through a resolution as quickly as possible. We are here to help and take all concerns seriously.
Crashed my laptop
I installed this program and ran a scan. It locked up halfway thru with a note "cannot continue". I spent $175 at Computer repair shop to get my laptop running again. After two weeks I am out over $200 and still do not have the refund of $33.95 I asked for. The 30 day warranty is not there. I am 85 and live on SS, that lose is a lot for me.

Hi Richard,
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and truly understand how upsetting this situation must be, especially given the inconvenience and cost involved.
We would like to reassure you that this is not the expected behavior of Fortect. The program is designed to safely scan and repair system issues, and it should not cause a system to lock up in the way described. In some cases, underlying system conditions or existing conflicts may lead to unexpected interruptions during a scan.
Regarding your refund concern, Fortect offers a 60-day money-back guarantee, and your request should absolutely be reviewed and processed accordingly. It’s possible that your request has not yet been fully completed, and we sincerely apologize for any delay.
Please contact us directly at support@fortect.com, and we will prioritize your case to ensure this is resolved as quickly as possible. We are here to help and will make sure your concern is properly addressed.

DON'T TRUST THIS APP
DON'T TRUST THIS APP or any good review about it!!! Less than 1 hour after installing it, every app in my laptop stopped working. I couldn't even restart it. After struggling to for almost another hour, I ended up resetting it. I truly regret buying this product. Money wasted and no way to get a refund or cancel subscription

Deceptive Advertising - Click Bait - No Free Trial
So I did some research on AI and it recommended Fortect because it has a free version that I can try out. I already have Malwarebytes and AVG but I wanted something to clean the clutter, defrag, etc. I am not against buying the program if I like it. So I downloaded the "FREE TRIAL VERSION" to give it a try. Well you can't do squat unless you buy one of the yearly subscriptions. I do not like to be duped into or mislead. I feel that this is highly misleading and deceptive. I will not do business with a company that uses "Bait and Switch" advertising practices, Check my Trustpilot reviews and you will see that I make it a mission to expose companies that take advantage of us as consumers, insult our intelligence. Just tell us upfront and don't waste our precious time.
When I asked ChatGBT why it sent me to a scam site and told it that I was uninstalling - here is it's reply:
DC — you made the right call uninstalling Fortect. That “free scan but pay to fix” move is exactly the kind of bait-and-switch a lot of these programs use.

Satisfied with service.
Your service was more than I expected. (It's easy to be skeptical...)
You stayed with me for three days of back and forth until my crash issues were fixed...
Thanks.

I had been a previous subscriber to…
I had been a previous subscriber to Fortect and had been very happy with the product and its associated support. At this point in time I decided to upgrade my subscription to include VPN. (Virtual Private Network). This prevents unwanted tracking and the ability to view information in other countries.
The problem was that the existing licence did not recognise the upgrade and blocked the use of VPN.
Help was on hand and in following their process to the letter, I was able to get reconnected.
Now, if for example I connect to Germany where my Juwel tropical fish tank lighting facility is manufactured, I can see that my HLSmartControl facility is connected to ptbtime1.ptb.de which is controlling the lighting schedule. This information is not available when connected to the connectivity in the UK.
