I am a little concerned about the sites that offer a free scan of computers
claiming to find left behind files etc.
All these scans find files but require a purchase to be able to correct
these"faults"
I have just used a free scan of Version Tracker Pro that claims to find out
of date drivers and applications which then requires a purchase to update
the files.
My scan showed 8 out of date applications 2 of which I was aware of.
However for the other six I went to to the website for each application and
found that each was up to date.
I have contacted Version Tracker about this but with no reply so far.
Are these free scans giving out false information hoping for a purchase of
the product.
If so then this is dishonest and perhaps illegal.
Would anyone like to give their opinions on this one.
Thanks
John
