Ratings and reviews

I'm going to give it 3 stars. The reason is this. All features seem to work properly. But I say seem. Someone on social media message me and had information pertinent to a personal chat that I had with somebody the person that messaged me I didn't know them. Both my debit cards have been breached, and the VPN doesn't stay on it shuts off randomly. And the phone overheats considerably which is a key sign of spyware. So it tells me I'm safe but it doesn't seem to be

I've been using Kapersky for years, and it has never let me down. It does exactly what it's supposed to without being a resource hog like Norton. Until recently, almost every tech site recommended this anti-virus comparing it with a half dozen others. Now, these sites never mention this program. It's on my phone and both home computers and twice, effectively caught and removed maleware saving my PC. I highly recommend even though it's a little expensive.

Their subscription page says a price and however they phrased "includes all services." I read decent things and they are cheaper than most so even though it doesn't list one of their services other than the word services, gave it a go. Nowhere to cancel. Nowhere to get support at all. Every service sends me to the sign up page, to pay for it. Nowhere to log in, just asks for a key they didn't email. My computer logs in just fine. But somehow those credentials do nothing on mobile which I pay for
