Ratings and reviews

very handy for cleaning your device and keeping everything bug free. Also, very handy at keeping a good watch on identity theft by checking your, emails, Id's, social security number, address, phone number, and debit/credit cards for fraudulent activity. this app is a real life saver. I must add you do have to pay for premium membership, but it's well worth it! thank you lots!

I tried a few apps for protection, but just got confused. I lost my memory about 20+ years ago, so it's hard to comprehend what you are reading. AVG would step you through each screen, which made ALL the difference. If you hadn't finished, the next time you got on the device AVG would let you know you had a few more steps to finish. AVG is also fast. Some apps take forever to go through their process. I would definitely recommend their products. db

This app came installed on my phone and wasn't an issue for the last year. But recently they decided that it needs to be running in the notification bar at all times without being able to choose to hide it. Since this change I have noticed a dip in my battery life, and it's because the app continuously changes and runs new programs within itself. Also I have every notification turned off and every time it updates it turns all of them back on, and it updates pretty often.

What’s new

* Easier navigation – We moved it to the bottom of the interface for easier access with your thumb.
* New features – We’ve added Privacy Advisor and the ability to auto-clean your device and automatically scan your Wi-Fi for potential threats.
