More sage advice: Don’t rely on anything CNet says, they are a known malware bundler and are also known to recommend products solely based on the financial compensation they receive regardless of the quality of the products or the problems the products they recommend may cause users. Or search for “can you trust TrustPilot?” Don’t want to auto-renew? You can speak to our 24/7 support team to assist with switching this off…”įinally, they promote TotalAV using reviews from TrustPilot, but can you trust TrustPilot? “…Our current standard price for an annual subscription is $99. This is from a hidden part of their page informing users they have to call TotalAV support to cancel the automatic charge… and you can almost imagine how that runaround will go. But nowhere on that page does it say that is only for the first year - after the first year, it’s $99 a year and it auto-renews and you get charged $99 automatically. The only price that is shown on their site for “up to 3 computers” is $19 for one-year. Even if the product worked well, the company behind it, and their questionable marketing methods, make it a must to avoid.
#SCANGUARD REVIEWS CNET SOFTWARE#
This is characterized by being a lightweight antivirus where it allows you to erase all junk information from the computer, in addition to making an encrypted protection to protect the privacy of both the computer and the company, the software is perfect. In our experience working on computers, customers who have been tricked into downloading TotalAV have had trouble removing it. Scanguard is an antivirus that offers a solution and you receive favorable responses. There’s a pattern of people downloading the “Free” version and being charged, and some being overcharged, and not being able to cancel without jumping through hoops.


Also (I’m) pretty sure this site belongs to them as well. This is not a coincidence, stay away from them. “… TotalAV and ScanGuard is the same company and both are a scam: The company that makes TotalAV is the same company that made the scam-ware program called ScanGuard ( see our article about ScanGuard here).
