This company runs a computer software scam. Its come-on is an offer for "free" software which leads you to believe your only cost will be shipping and handling. However, buried within a "terms of use" page is a small print paragraph which explains that in ordering the software, you are agreeing to a "membership" with them for more software, and unless you cancel this "membership" on their website (which is not set up for customer convenience) you will be sent additional software about once a month and it will be charged to your credit card—The charge will be about $40.00 each time.
The small print also states that when you get the "free" software, you will have to return two of the four "free" items or be charged $19.95 after a ten day evaluation period. (In my case they just went ahead and charged me $39.90 for all four—so apparently none of it was "free" for me.)
The software is junk and I am now in the process of getting the charges removed from my charge account. I am filing a complaint with the FTC and will pursue this as long as it takes. Manay is a deceptive company and needs to be put out of business.
