You guys are on point with security. If I had any suggestions, it would be to include better, more detailed instructions when it comes to turning things on/off or allowing certain permissions, like accessibility- for people who aren't as familiar with how a smart phone works. I had to help my father install this and turn everything on for his phone. Other than that, excellent app. Thanks Sophos!

*For those who don't know, this app is NOT the antivirus/antimalware app. This app is meant to SUPPLEMENT the Sophos antivirus app to ensure malware can't disable your AV or uninstall it.* This "watchdog" app hasn't been updated since 2020. Do we still need to install this on our devices in 2024? I'm sincerely asking.

I stumbled across this two/three years ago and have run it on all my smartphones ever since. Very simple to use runs quietly in the background. only popping up for issues.
