 * Hi,
    i’m a new user, i needed something to block a lot of bots that are making
   me cry every night..
 * I was thinking ’bout the premium one to flag the country block, but.. i cannot
   even scan!
 * Scan does not start at all.. i’ve tried by flagging “Start all scans remotely”
   but still not working.
 * I click con start scan, few seconds waiting to start and… nothing, it reverses
   back to it’s original status.

 * Hi,
 * Make sure your system specs meet the requirements. 128MB of memory is preferred.
   Are you using a shared hosting plan?
