A little complex to set up, but it's the most comprehensive suite of safety and security apps I have ever used. It also warns about apps/devices not covered on the same network. Checks out attempted fraud in mail, links,and messages. It also includes VPN. It is not cheap if you go for the Total package, but if you like ' the best', you have to pay for it and it would be cheaper than a cleared out bank account

The best. Like most security suites, it wants access and administration permission to do what it wants. Overall, I think it is very good, It has a few glitches for sure. The forum says they are working to fix them. Hopefully an update soon to fix the issues. If you run into browser issues, turn off anti tracking, then turn off VPN if you have it. If that doesn't allow you to access a trusted site, like your email online, turn off the firewall. Customer Service 👍

Stupidly long loading time! The services work for the most part. The 'sound alarm' feature worked well. The 'screen lock code' feature worked bt it should work in addition to your normal screen lock to add a 2nd layer of security but instead if you have a screen lock code already it wont work - so if someone has your code its no good. The location finder is accurate but only if you leave your location on all the time (which most security consious people wont do) it wont turn it on remotely.
