Is scanguard.com Safe?

"TotalAV" is a front for ***** Group Ldt., one of biggest scammer companies in the cyber-security industry and a well known producer of malware. Marketing their products using false advertising, fake reviews, fake comparison tests and other shady methods. They also lack any form of community/forum like other virus scanner vendors, as they know they will be flooded with negative comments. Same goes for their affiliate program, where you only get money if you block out NEGATIVE searches on Google and Bing. ***** (Read the bottom 2 lines) "In order to promote any of Protected Groups brands [scanguard, pcprotect, totalav, UltraVpn, SafeVPN, PrivacyWeb] affiliates must NEGATIVE match the following if promoting via Google or Bing." The company sells 3 identical virus scanners (using different brands/company names) TotalAV - ***** PCProtect - ***** ScanGuard - https://www.scanguard.com Here's an post that shows screenshot of all 3 programs. ***** They also sell 3 identical VPN clients (again using different brands/company names) UltraVpn - ***** SafeVPN - ***** PrivacyWeb - ***** Company also has a long history of withdrawing money from peoples accounts AFTER they cancel subscriptions. Try looking at some of the negative reviews (the only real ones) on Trustpilot and Google. And they seem to be very good at "infiltrating" (buying their way into) the legit virus scanner scene. Lately they have become a PARTNER of Virus-Bulletin, in the annual Virus Bulletin International Conference (VB2019) ***** That Virus-Bulletin (Which I have always considered a trustworthy source) choose to endorse them that way (despite knowing their shady business model and malware software) is just sad and Virus-Bulletin have lost their credibility in my book. How can you trust a virus resource that team up with malware creators? And suddenly "TotalAV" is now a trusted company/program with a 100% detection score in the VB100 certification test (made by Virus-Bulletin). Coincidence?

Scam and malware, its detected by a lot of antivirus engines and intentionally makes it impossible to uninstall, you also must pay for it to use it. Also, TotalAV is made by these guys, and they both use bots to leave thousands of fake reviews. their website is also flagged by Malwarebytes as malware.

i actually like this antivirus, heard a lot of negative thoughts but i havent had one problem since i purchased it over 6 months ago. Purchasing was quick and simple and they had loads of add ons on offer like a password vault, this is the one i bought.

After installing app on my PC, which I have had good experience with on my Android, The only 'threats' it found were cookies placed by the OS OEM. Clicking on ANY of the options to 'FIX' leads to an PURCHASE option, i.e., nothing about this app is FREE. Attempts to login to website do nothing. No contact info available on app itself. Clicking anything on the website brings a popup to BUY, BUY, BUY premium app. Just another A/V scam app. Should have not ignored the WOT warning, to not go to the site or download the app!

Just another "Security Program" scammer. VERY Expensive and failed MY simple safety test. VERY professionally done sales Site. Looks real....... Forgot to check the WOT "redlight" first - went there from a "reputable" "Review" elsewhere NO MENTION OF SELL-UP METHOD. p.s. THEY PAY HIGH SALES COMMISSION TO REFERRAL SITES...
