About the Windows agent
The most common question from business owners before they install anything new.
The ExplainMyIT agent installs like any normal application — no IT support needed, no admin passwords, no special permissions. It runs quietly in the background and sends your report to your dashboard. That is it.
No admin rights required
Installs to your user profile. No IT involvement, no UAC prompt, no permission requests from whoever manages the computers. A business owner can install it on their own machine without asking anyone.
Works on managed / domain-joined machines
Tested on a domain-joined Windows 11 machine. It installs and runs cleanly in a corporate environment without conflicting with group policy or domain controls — the environment your business is likely already using.
No security red flags
Verified clean across 68 security vendors on VirusTotal before launch — not because anything is hidden, but because it does what legitimate IT tools do: map what is on your network, nothing more.
Frequently asked.
Yes. The external product is free with your account: one website domain, monthly reports, no credit card. On-demand website scans are not available while signed in on the free plan. We earn when you add On-Premise. That is the only paid product.
Your free reports show what is visible from outside your business — DNS, email security, SSL, tech stack. On-Premise adds a Windows agent that maps what is running inside your office network: devices, open services, access points, and changes each month.
Yes. Cancel from your dashboard at any time. You keep access until the end of your billing period. The free external reports stay active with your account regardless.
No. The agent installs to your user profile with no UAC prompt, no group policy conflicts, and no IT sign-off needed. It has been tested on domain-joined Windows 11 machines and was verified clean across 68 security vendors on VirusTotal before launch.
No. ExplainMyIT has no relationship with any MSP or IT vendor. Your IT provider knows what your setup looks like. Now you will too.
We would rather earn your trust and keep permission to email you than charge for external checks. When you want visibility inside your network, On-Premise is the paid upgrade.
