Well I am new at this. I still get a few pop ups while I am doing things on my laptop. Although today is the first day I didn't get any pop ups, so it must be working. Thank you and Happy Holidays to you and your team...

I have loaded this on my desktop. But I cannot tell if it has loaded to my iPhone. I get very frustrated with my iPhone as to whether something has been downloaded or not.

I've been fairly satisfied for several years now...I started out paying $19.95 for years....at the first of every year the rate always goes up and is now $159 a year....every year I call and complain and someone authorizes what has been $29 dollars for a few years....this year my Visa card was hacked and my Total AV service ran out...before it ran out my computer was hacked (according to Amazon) in November 2024....I'm going to probably cancel next January because at 82 years old I cannot afford $159 a year.

PROBLEME POUR LE RENOUVELLEMENT
Windows User
J'ai du mis reprendre à plusieurs reprises. En espérant que ce sera la dernière fois et surtout que mon compte ne soit pas débité autant de fois. A chaque achat il est validé, puis deux jours après il me signifie qu'il n'ai plus à jour.
