I canceled my subscription

I canceled my subscription. The price went up not horrible, but too many other products on the market do the same thing. Also for many years web route didn’t catch one single virus or attempt. I think it’s really a useless product.

We appreciate you giving it a try and sharing your perspective.

Seems like good protection for a fair price

Seems like good protection for a reasonable price, and they don't pop up on my screen 10x/hour to tell me what they're doing.
