My Computer was hacked this week
Windows User
I am 63 years old and have a diagnosis of early onset alzeimers. I was hacked this week and clever hackers said they were from my internet provider BT
and made me so alarmed that I let them access my computer and installed anydesk which after keeping me on the phone for hours ended in them hacking my bank account. I have just installed any desk but you state elements could not be deleted and to try and delete them manually. If you can't do this - but I have no idea how to do this either? Can you help me with this
I wish that maybe for vulnerable people like myself that that an alert could be put on any (unlikely) security software seen being installed that is suspect? Thankyou. PS If you can help? I am still in my first year with total AV...Show More

Okay

When I signed up I was led to believe I could cover two CPUs with my license ... which I have done. Now I get a bill for $20. What's the problem?

Almost Perfect
Windows User
There's only one annoying thing: If you pick a country for the VPN and it doesn't connect, you get a notice, but then you are literally handcuffed by it, as there are zero options for you to pick another. Even of you close the program and re-open it, choosing the VPN setting again, just takes you back to the same waiting, circling, round and round forever display, unconnected to whatever country you chose, with no options nor anyway of knowing that that one wasn't going to workout.
So then you have to restart the computer to get out of this endless loop of waiting for nothing.

For such a well working and almost perfect program, it's seems a shame that this little tiny hick-up has been over looked.

The Best
Windows User
No other software I have used provides the speed, accuracy, and ease of use.
While you might have other software defenses, this is another bullet in the chamber
against malware and other internet risks. Buy this...Buy this now!
