A little complex to set up, but it's the most comprehensive suite of safety and security apps I have ever used. It also warns about apps/devices not covered on the same network. Checks out attempted fraud in mail, links,and messages. It also includes VPN. It is not cheap if you go for the Total package, but if you like ' the best', you have to pay for it and it would be cheaper than a cleared out bank account

Been using it for 2 years. Haven't had any issues. In that time, I've installed it on all of my devices and shared it with my Mother and a few friends that only had free versions of other apps. It isn't really expensive. And renewal is 30% off. Just renewed it yesterday. Best out, and I've used McAfee, Norton, Total AV, and a few that I cannot remember the names of. Seems that all of the free versions spend way too much time. I will stick with Bitdefender, and now they have a password App.

I have been using BitDefender for many years, and I trust it's security & safety protection for all my computers, laptops, tablets & phones! However the 'Central' app has drastically degraded since it was introduced. It no longer finds a device's location in a timely manner, when it USED to find a misplaced device in a couple of minutes, it now takes SEVERAL attempts (and an extended timeframe) for it to locate a device, IF it finds it at all. I am very disappointed in its degraded abilities.
