Ratings and reviews

The updates this past year have gotten downhill. It keeps crashing on me and having to turn it off and on in the accessibility. Now, any time I have to unlock my apps, my apps would freeze, and I have to open up the apps list, and the ESET app would be there and closes itself out. Please fix this problem, or I would have to stop using it. And I use this security app for years with no problems until recently.

Would really like a VPN on just 2 devices for less than 180 bucks. Honestly would be 4 stars if they had that. Just downgrade the ultimate to 2 or 3 devices and lower the price and it would be about perfect. Constantly has the anti phishing being deactivated tho. Having to manually re activate it all the time is slightly annoying.

It's actually a good app from what I can tell, seems well looked after. But it's a bit out of touch. The notification options are so limited. There's a permanent notify that stays in the status bar from the android pull down menu that says "you are protected". I know I'm by far not the only one who doesn't want it there constantly. Only thing I can do it disable all the app notifications. Which is a major blunder considering I'll miss important alerts. Disappointing.
