Ratings and reviews

Update crippled the whole app! It was working beautifully until I installed the most recent update. From that moment on, USELESS! It closes itself seconds after opening, but insists on telling me every 25 seconds that "McAfee is running in the background". I can't even submit a report about it since it crashes so quickly, nor can I uninstall the update and go back to the working version. According to the online forum, this has been a problem for months with no solution forthcoming

I have a paid subscription, the latest update has caused the following issies, cant back up, scan set up GPS tracking etc. The app also keeps crashing. I am not sure what exactly do i have a paid subscription for (i have the unlimited Total Protrction). If this is not rectified, i will be seeking a full refund via my credit card used to purchase.

The app worked great; until the most recent update. Now it will not even load, it tries to turn on and I get a message "something went wrong". It has been happening for a few days and still is. $90.00 came out of my account, yet I cannot even access the service.. I don't have money to waste at all, I need the security for my internship; which is why I sucked it up and relocated funds, now I'm unsure of what to do and screwed.
