( so you did read my entire diatribe ! )
I have not used Connectivity Fixer Pro in 7 years,
because everything else offered by other programmers,
and self-managed tips and tricks, have bested Connectivity Fixer.
It’s not as if Connectivity Fixer Pro has been working
for 7 years for me yet I did not notice.
Today I replaced a bad cable, and rebuilt IPv6 and IPv4
connectivity, none of which Badosoft Connectivity Fixer
helped me with.
I look at the Connectivity Fixer Pro log, and all it
says is “Problem Fixed!”.
What “problem”, I had no “problem” that I was aware of,
and Connectivity Fixer did NOT give any specifics to
brag about, here’s the log:

Thank you, Connectivity Fixer Pro, … buutt … what
did you see, what did you do,
and why is it reoccurring, and not fix it by
preventing it from happening again?
Stable … so what is unstable, specifically?
Improved … so what is unimproved, specifically?
Interferences … so what are Interferences,
and how do you know, and why did you not …
… wait a minute, Connectivity Fixer Pro logs just say stable,
improved, interferences, not that
Connectivity Fixer Pro actually fixed anything, as you
say instead, “monitor”,but dd these things come and go
on their own, … but what did Connectivity Fixer Pro
actually find was wrong, and what did Connectivity Fixer
Pro actually do the fix anything, and why did it not fix
things permanently … or did Connectivity Fixer Pro just
watch and report as tings wandered between good connection
( measured how ? ) and bad connection ( measured how ? )?
Is Connectivity Fixer Pro making only temporary virtual
repairs in virtual machine that never make it to the
actual computer and so they disappear when Connectivity
Fixer Pro is not running, as an attempt to NOT permanently
fix a computer or connection, but to only fix a virtual
session, and thereby make the end user addicted to a
broken computer and broken connection that is patched
temporarily by an active Connectivity Fixer Pro virtual
set of fixes?
So perhaps Connectivity Fixer logs can be useful in
watching to see if externally applied fixes take hold or
fail, fixes from non Badosoft Connectivity Fixer Pro methods:
– see an error in Badosoft Connectivity Fixer Pro
– repair it with an external tool,
– see if the error returns or is gone, rally gone, forever.
So, Badosoft, you have your feedback:
From others:
1 – Registration and fighting with email providers seems
out of step with other program vendor’s success.
2 – Program presentation in low contrast and fine print
compromises user command and control of the program.
Additionally from me:
3 – Unsure whether or not Connectivity Fixer Pro an be
used to fix a existing broken Internet connection, or
just monitor a working Internet connection, more
accurately renamed Connection Monitor.
4 – “ignore the man behind the green curtain” magic,
hiding whatever Connectivity Fixer Pro sees and does.
And we SOS participants have our gratuitous impression of Badosoft.

Alternatives:
– Free Badosoft Connectivity Fixer NOT Pro *
– Free [ Tweaking. com ] Repair Winsock and DNS Cache, plus their Windows Repair has a repair network option, plus other stuff.
– Free [ IObit. com] Driver Booster, and our PC maker and network interface makers, all have free updated drivers.
– Free Microsoft IPv4 versus IPv6 controls, see [ https :// support. microsoft. com/en-us/help/929852/guidance-for-configuring-ipv6-in-windows-for-advanced-users ], yes, downloadable programs, finally.
– Free, old, maybe findable, Microsoft Fixit 50203 for repairing a corrupted Winsock,
– Free Waresoft XP/7-Smoker TCP/IP repair up to v2.2,
– not free new cables, and cable testers,
– free power cycle our own router, Belkin does this every Tuesday morning,
– not free [ Caig. com ] DeoxIT D5S-6, with petroleum naphtha as the carrier solvent or the new DeoxIT DN5 DN5S-6N, which is non-flammable, non-drip and safe on plastics, these are connector cleaners and preservatives,
– Free Option^Explicit Software Winsock Fix v1.1.0.13,
– Free [ d7xtech. com ] WinsockReset,
– Free [ Speedguide. net ] TCP Optimizer,
– Free DNS tools, web search for many, I like th einsight gained from free [ GRC. com ] DNSbench,
– Free HOST tools, web search for many, I like the editor-auto-filler in free [ Safer-Networking. orgm ] Spybot Search & Destroy v1.62,
– so much more out there.
= = = = = = = = = =
Not: the free version of Badosoft Connectivity Fixer
does NOT contain these Pro features:
– Log activities ( but no explicit details )
– Reset TCP/IP Internet Protocol
– Renew Internet Connections
– Renew Winsock
– Flush DNS Resolver cache
– Restore Hosts file
– Reset Windows Firewall
– Repair DNS Problems
– Fix Internet Explorer ( makes it fast, compatible, and safe … just kidding )
– Clean IE Cache
– Network information ( or blank for me )
– IP info or blank for me )
– Snide-free support
The free version of Badosoft Connectivity Fixer
maybe might possibly could perhaps be installable on
a computer that is off the Internet, in the hopes of
fixing and reconnecting that isolated computer’s
Internet connection … but, if there is a way to
use the extra tools from the Pro version on an
isolated computer, Badosoft has not helped in this
thread, so we’re on our own, hence my list of alternatives.
Enjoy, fellow SOS participants.
Please check in and share what’s not just failing,
but what’s working, too.
Thanks to everyone.
