User reviews

Users find Scanguard effective at cleaning and speeding up their systems and blocking trackers, praising its ease of use and smooth operation. However, multiple users report that the cleaning function doesn't always maintain improved speed and fails to block all trackers, coupled with intrusive premium ads. There is also confusion over its free versus paid status, and some users note that performance gains are temporary. Overall, it is seen as a good tool but with limitations and mixed experiences regarding its consistency and value.

Pros

Helps to speed up and clean the system effectively as intended.
Easy to use and runs smoothly without interfering much.
Good at blocking trackers which can slow down system performance.
Generally well-received for maintaining system performance and cleanliness.
Some users find it free and useful for system maintenance.

Cons

The cleaning function may not consistently improve system speed or block all trackers as promised.
Recurring prompts or ads for the premium version can be intrusive.
Some users experienced that after initial improvements, system speed deteriorated again.
Confusion among users regarding whether the extension is free or requires purchase.
Limited effectiveness compared to other similar extensions like Avira.

Its good as someone who is rly paranoid about this stuff but does what its supposed to and runs fast, the only bad parts are that when you use the "Wash/clean" the system does not run as fast as it did and during the Cleaning system it shows how much trackers are on there but it said to block all and it didn't,also it kind of pops up on my screen that there's a premium vers and how much trackers it blocked. I have another extension that DID block them called Avira <- its good.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Scanguard - Clean & Speed Up requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
