Ratings and reviews

I'm not liking this app because when I'm out in public at a place where there's free WIFI, it automatically connects to that WIFI!! I don't like that because hackers can easily steal my personal information! Even after I turn off WIFI on my phone, this app turns around and automatically turns it back on like it has a mind of its own!! I prefer to use the data on my phone when I'm in public!! Uninstalling app!!

Update: Since there is no indication this will get fixed and customer service on both sides cannot assist, I'm moving back to Bitdefender Security. Thank you. Since the last update I am unable to sign into the account. Like many others here so I know it's not user error. The registration code that is provided is suppose to activate the service with my account and instead it takes me to an account sign in page and there is no option to create an account? What is going on here?

Horrible! Won't get past outdated, incomplete sign in information and Won't let me update it.
