I have had it happen on a few occasions. The last time was just this week when I was asking about my car transmission. They recommended a product and there are a few YouTube videos demoing that it doesn't work..so there's that..it has happened before too, or they don't have the latest info or something. By and large I think it is pretty good though. What say you?

When consulting them directly, I’m often impressed by the depth and accuracy they provide. Still, there are times when their answers or solutions aren’t entirely correct. When my laptop crashed from a virus infection, it took me a while to thoroughly clean my PC and make sure it was safe again. After trying several of their suggested options, I eventually managed to remove the virus. I believe the key is to clearly describe your problem and provide all the details, so they can figure out the best solution for you.

I always do. They just aren't always correct in what they recommend.

@snowy22315 I guess they’re still not perfect and can make mistakes along the way.

It needs specific facts if it is to do a good job.

Yes, the other thing is that sometimes it will tell you one thing and another time something else even if you put in the same search terms. All in all though, I think it is pretty good. I enjoy using it.

@snowy22315 We always defend it when people start to pick on it.
Used the right way it's really useful.
