I called and e-mailed and no one ever got back to me… now I’m glad I never got through with them.

I’ve recently been around the loop with ScanAlert. The sales guy called me almost a dozen times and everytime I told him I’m just not interested he acted like I just killed his dog. Really. I’ve got MANY better things to do than listen to a lame sales guy try to make me feel sorry for him so I can buy his sub-par product.

What you say about ANY trustmark is true. HackerSafe isn’t the end all “trustmark” that customers feel like they need to see. Customers just like seeing _something_.
