Hi, I just got lured to subscribe to Asus Webstorage. I knew it is not fast, but I thought it might be useful as a chip secondary backup system, independent from my manual system, at least for my most important folders. As I have started using it, I noticed that features are a bare minimum, that help links to a support website which is permanently down and the interface does not give much control on the backup status.
I wonder if anybody is using it and happy with it.

Thank you Tom. It looks pretty dangerous!
I have just seen your reply, uninstalled the program and started a full AV scan (2h to go). In the mean-time, I could not find any remedial additional action advised on the web. Now I am shutting off my internet connection and Tomorrow I will consider if I should restore my full backup copy on external USB. That one is certainly unaffected (unplugged), but I would lose a couple of weeks of important files.
