Ratings and reviews

Terrible. Been with them for years because I kept forgetting to remove it and had thought I was paying or paid for it. Anyway, if I am, don't care to cut it off. It's so bad that it will say I have several breaches from XYZ sites, sometimes I can change my password and most other times I can't, there are no real following links to change it! You can't delete the information either. It also keeps turning off most of my settings!! Over it!

Safe Browsing kills my data connection so I can't actually browse, which is annoying. Drains battery pretty quick, also annoying. Logs me out on a regular basis meaning I have no protection, but don't realise it because it doesn't notify me. Clutters my task bar with garbage about how I'm "protected" only for me to find out I'm not even logged in. Not really sure why I'm still paying for it at this point. Mostly from reviews saying it's hard to cancel and I can't be bothered with that

I can't add my mobile, the security automatically switches to off. There is never confirmation my mobile is safe, and doesn't show up on "my devices". Unless I go in and manually switch it back on. Also when I go to download again, it tells me to enter code yet there is no provision to add code. I paid for my mobile and laptop protection. My phone takes longer to clean, and heats up too often.
