Scanguard

Anyone got this, or heard of it. Its free at the moment and adds another level of security to your existing security. Would hate to download it and find its a scam itself.,

Tried to download Scanguard but it took forever so I deleted it. I have since heard that they want you to upgrade very soon after installation to the paid -for version. I would recommend [paid for] System Mechanic, [free] Avast and [free] Malware Bytes.

Leave alone for now insufficient evidence either way the chances are you don’t need it. Beware

I can't see that it really offers anything which you can't get elsewhere.

Further, the company behind Scanguard (S S Protect Ltd) was only set up on 4th May this year and appears to be linked to a small web design company (Just Develop IT) run by the same guy (Christopher Stephen Phillips). They both operate from the same address, which is a small unit on a business park in Fareham.

Mr Phillips must be both extremely talented and extremely busy because, as well as being the sole director of S S Protect Ltd and one of the two directors of Just Develop IT Ltd, he's also currently a director of JDI Property Holdings Ltd, XJC Jets Management Ltd, XJC Jets Ltd, Resume Labs Ltd, Pseudio Ltd, WZ (UK) Ltd, Red Properties Southern Ltd and Save A Sale Ltd and Design Studios Fusion Ltd, as well as being a former director of JDI Backup Ltd and Intellichat Software Ltd.

The descriptions certainly make my scam antennae twitch. There are plenty of highly regarded alternatives available.
