HORRIBLE app! NOT WORTH THE MONEY! If I could give this app ZERO stars I would, but I couldn't so that's what it received one star. App is way different from the app that first started out. Doesn't block calls from numbers that are not in your address book. Allows ALL calls from telemarketers through until you block each and every number yourself. Also, it says no longer compatible with my phone.

POSSIBLE SOURCE OF MY HACKER! Malware scan "does not" keep an accurate count of total scans. I use the app. to scan my phone daily. At one point, I had 117 scans on my phone. The next scan it reverted backward to 93 scans. Yesterday, I scanned my phone 3 times without turning my phone off. After the scan was completed, scan numbers stayed at 85 total scans. Also, currently, when I run a malware scan, sometimes it scans in 15 seconds, skipping apps. The scan usually takes about 3-4 minutes.

It's too hard to set up. How do you temporarily disable VPN? The only fix was to uninstall it (cruise ship). I am working to install it again and confused how I managed to uninstall it during the setup process. "Walk me through it" should have more prompts. I had it set up the first time. I'm having trouble clearing the warning symbols this time in the armor tree.
