For the first time since installing it, I ran a scan on 2/17/21, and it showed like 95% of my apps as being installed by an "unknown" source. That includes all of my health insurance apps, banking apps, off line dictionary, anti-virus program, etc., practically everything. What is going on? It has NEVER done this before. Someone please explain.

Really an awesome little app. Good design. However the app seems to close after a certain time and if you don't notice that there's no icon on the top screen, your phone will be unprotected untill you restart the app. Once this issue is sorted, i will gladly extend my pro version for more than 3 months. Other than that, i have no complaints

I DO NOT recommend this app. Signed up for a 7 day free trial and before it had ended, I was paying the full year subscription. This app is pretty useless as it doesn't really do anything to make it worth the price. You are going to have a better plan by keeping your fingers crossed!

Well I think great if this is true it says after a scan that "My BOOST Launcher" app has an Android Trojan Malware use is not recommended & 2 uninstall" Can that actually be accurate that's the Boost Mobile app launcher when my phone had a carrier plain w/cell & active it isn't active (I use wifi) but b4 u go removing it if I can even do that is that really true y think

The app itself is good for unwanted spywares, but as a privacy freak, by looking at there privacy policy they collect some good amount of data about you like IP address, logs and many more, I hope they can at least remove the IP adress and log data collection, I'm not comfortable about people seeing where I live and when do I use their app, but at least their not like facebook who sells data, or maybe you guys sell data? Please confirm an answer.

I sideload a lot of apps( oops, I'm guilty). I have Virus Total which I use as well. This app though is unique in that it will tell you if an app is a fake app. It will also tell you if the app is from a known malware developer( wait until you see that for the first time). I bought a year subscription and I have no regrets. If you sideload apps you might want to try this app.
