Re: PC World calls IntelliFix 2000 "dim-witted", "substandard", and "bizarre"

Intelliquis IntelliFix 2000 Pro 3.5

Contrary to its name, this $50 program offers a dim-witted Y2K solution. First of all, IntelliFix's hardware testing abilities are substandard. Its hardware diagnostic tried to sell us an unnecessary card "fix," too, but at least systems failed IntelliFix's tests less often in our evaluation than they did Centurion's or EZcheck2000's.

As a software scanner, though, IntelliFix seems truly bizarre. It scans the code in your program files for specific problems and then offers to correct them by referring the computer to an Intelliquis device driver. These "fixes" didn't appear to damage our programs, but they didn't remedy anything either.

On the other hand, IntelliFix's data scanner did well on our Excel and Access files (it doesn't test other formats), catching dates formatted with two-digit years and drawing attention to bad formulas.
