AskWoody_MVPDecember 6, 2016 at 9:27 am #1586228You asked this five weeks ago and got a couple of responses: http://windowssecrets.com/forums/showthread//178067-ScanGuard
What does it cost after $49 for the first year? (That detail doesn’t seem to be available on their site, despite auto-renewal which can only be disabled via email.)

AskWoody_MVPDecember 6, 2016 at 9:43 am #1586234Also see this review which was published since you asked last time:
“I would not use ScanGuard or recommend it to anyone. The company is sketchy, and it seems pretty obvious that the “review” site mentioned above is a thinly-veiled shill for the product. The product is crude and not user-friendly. There are much better alternatives, and they are free.”

AskWoody MVPDecember 6, 2016 at 9:54 am #1586236Oh dear.
How about you do some of your own research on this (group of) companies (many of which have already been dissolved) and then return to give us your opinion?
This search string might be a useful starting point. The link in a reply to your earlier topic is still being added to as well, time for another read of that?
