It keeps notifying me that it's on, every time I enter or exit a safe application it shows up, and it seems to be on a ten minute timer between notification, or maybe 5. It's annoying and kinda unnerving at times. Watching YouTube about fictional villains, boom the notification pops up; The app's good and it's trusty, but it doesn't let you breath. Update: turning off notifications only works until you shut off your device, when you turn it back on, it turns itself back on. That should be fixed.

I am giving 3 stars because I can't say for certain that it's actually protecting me. Have had it for years and it has never found any potential security risks. Other than once with a text message and never again since. And I know for certain that I have had many harmful text messages. Luckily I can spot them easily and delete without clicking the links. As for the data breach searches, it always shows that it is finding my info and getting it removed but it's almost always the same sites.

Tried them all & McAfee Android is the absolute best. It stops you from visiting sites before you can get infected. The 1 time I did get a virus it cleaned it so easily it was like I never got infected. Highly Recommend! VPN won't mask location from apps like Netflix. Support said this is due to Netflix's geo tagging. If so then the competitors' VPN apps are able to do it. Windows version is adware with popups to paid tiers, stick to Android. Android version needs sign in after each update now.
