It doesn't work and Im not computer illiterate. It wont open or work and allow me to take a quiz for school I would give it negative 100 if I could

This app accessed my web cam and displayed it to Russia, they stole my data and are now holding it for ransom. It sent emails out to my organization and now I've been fired (for harassment of other employees) thanks to this app. I deleted it and it reinstalled itself and downloaded malware onto my organization account; deserves 0 stars, fix your app.
