the VPN gives me grief, Works well when it does, once it fails it fails and i have to get technical support, happened twice in the year i have had it, the third time i just stopped using it, unsure what happens, i observed the fix but it was different both times ?

Good value. Only criticism is that the constant app icon at the top of ny phone screen, be nice if that could be cleared. Other than that no issues

Easy to download, Easy to use, Already has benefited me by quarantine malware and makes it easy to delete the malware.

This is a great App. I wish that I had found it sooner. I had my bank account hacked and I believe this would have stopped it. My concern now is that I hav been offered other malware programs and it is confusing to me what other programs might be helpful. Another concern is why the program has a VPN that does not automatically engage when computer is turned on. Instead the system has an malware software instead that engages. The explanation given is that the VPN is not compatible with the Malware software

My opinion

Summary since I just got the program and I'm just learning the INS and outs of the program so far I have really liked it. It's very easy and very functional and understandable to get around on whereas other programs I've used have been difficult and confusing.

Appalling and Intrusive
Windows User
I needed a decent Anti-Virus and wanted to pay for one rather than get a free one. Although, the anti-virus side of it is good, it's intrusiveness is a pain in the backside. Virtually every webpage I go on they're asking me to purchase Ad blocker, every time you click on the x it'll pop up again when the page is refreshed. You also get a circle in the bottom right hand with a lightning flash in it that cannot be gotten rid of, blocking you from clicking on some parts of website. Just awful all round.
