Makers of the FixMeStick, a PC virus detection and removal product. The FixMeStick is a simple-to-use, self- updating, self-contained USB hardware device built on the computer security principle that the only completely reliable method to detect and remove malware is to boot from a medium that is known to be clean.Montrealers Corey Velan and Marty Algire founded FixMeStick in 2011. A Queen's and Stanford graduate, Velan was previously Director of Development and Lead Architect at Radialpoint, provider of consumer PC security to very large ISPs. Algire, who completed his Master's in Biosystems Engineering at McGill, was a founding employee of the pioneering Internet privacy company Zero-Knowledge and Vice-President of Products and Engineering at Radialpoint.The FixMeStick provides consumers a practical cost-effective way to remove the inevitable infections from their devices, and for the first time leverages an inherent advantage consumers have against Internet thieves: physical access to their own device so they can turn it off and clean it.
