by far the most annoying app I've ever come in contact with. I'm choosing to go without protection just because this apps notifications are ridiculous. it won't go 1 full hour without clogging half your screen with useless notifications oh you turned off persistent notifications? thats ok. I just won't work in the background. ya know...the only time I'm ever useful

The security features of Trend Micro mobile security are terrific and do the job very well. Security features such as for text messages, websites, VPN, and so much more, cover all the bases for my protection. I additionally use Trend Micro for my laptop as well, and I am more than satisfied with the level of protection I receive from them. In my opinion, this is the best out there.

I installed Trend Micro to remove these constant notifications that my phone is compromised. It keeps saying my phone is optimized, but the messages keep coming. It may not be as comprehensive as it used to be when Housecall was free. Although, that was for a PC. This is an Android phone, and maybe the technology has not figured it all out yet.

Have used this app for many years on family plan for multiple devices. All of the handy features are gone. Users can no longer modify the Lost Prevention list to get rid of old phones or devices that are no longer used. I used to be able to renew all of my 10 devices at once on the website but now can only renew one licese at a time. The latest version is constantly asking the user to allow permission even though permission has been granted in the past. I contacted support with no resolution

It is very comprehensive, does not slow down my phone (or drain the battery) and gives me plenty of choices and actions to make so that I am in control. Would definitely recommend if doing online banking and making purchases online. Especially like the phone lock / wipe capability in case I lose my phone. Was already using this antivirus on my computer so didn't cost me anything to add on my phone, just had to register it.

After getting a new phone and installed the program, it was giving me a hard time installing it right. It asked for my password , security code , and was giving me second proof of identity where it sends you a code ( the code that was sent is at the last second ) of the time limit. So I input the code but won't recognized it. I did this in a total of 9 times . I got frustrated with the way it was going and might not get the program again for renewal.

Trusted this for over 20 years. No complaints, but two annoyances: When I added 2 identical phones to my protected devices, they got auto-labeled with the same label (their model #), making it impossible to distinguish them when I later replaced one. Devices can be renamed, but I would prefer to assign the name at the time I am adding the device. Notification that WebGuard is inactive (which is true) seems to pop up randomly and doesn't provide any info about why it appeared.

Love this app. Very clean interface, and everything you want is easy to find within it. I've tested it on a few sites I know of that are suspicious just to see if it responded. It did every time. I liked it so much that I gave the desktop version a try and bought a subscription. Trend Micro has been around the security space for ages, and proves to be as good as any on the market.

Exceptional. I found trend about 15 or 20 years ago because I was fed up with the poor quality programs out there that cost much more. I've never used anything since. When I was repairing and building computers, I installed nothing except Trend. One thing I just recently discovered and turned off was the little man icon on bottom of screen. Spent couple hours with Verizon because I kept hitting it and turning off my web security. Thought it can from Verizon but finally found it and turned off

This is what I've been wanting to find for 6 months, I've been thru at least 7 anti-virus apps and this one not only got rid of viruses. But also protects against future threats. I know it works. Because the other anti-virus never improved the performance of my phone, I never saw any results. But with Mobile security my phones performance improved immediately. And has gotten better. Finally my phone dosen't have a mind of its on. And I'm hoping it can do something about my spotify app.
