My phone's internet browser kept opening on its own. I disabled it & went through the motions of figuring out why. I couldn't find an app that was doing it. I knew it had to be a virus but don't remember clicking anything. I downloaded this app and ran a scan and it found the virus within seconds. I tried to find the virus myself again but couldn't. But McAfee gave me the option to uninstall it, I did. My phone is back to normal! I did another scan the next day and no virus detected! Great app!

I used to use it on my computer. I had the annual subscription renewal. when I first paid for it, it was only $50. Today I check my bank account and see they upped the charges to over $150! I didn't know they raised the prices nor did I know my subscription was at renewal. Theres no simple way of refunding either, you have to call them and argue with them to get your refund. They are scamming people be wary!

VPN is giving nothing but issues for all my installed apps. Whether it's turned on/off and even if the individual app is turned on/off. Some apps want it on, others off. The definition of tunneling is unclear. Does toggling on mean it bypasses VPN to prevent issues or do I need to unselect it to prevent issues? And don't get me started on the fact that my app logs me off randomly as well as turns off my VPN without warning. Not much protection there if I have no idea I was logged out.
