(Rating count:

Users appreciate the extension's financial site protections and its integration with security suites, along with its free cost. However, multiple reviews report frequent annoyances with persistent pop-ups prompting installation despite the extension being active, functionality issues requiring repeated reinstalls, VPN-related slowdowns and connectivity problems, inadequate ad blocking, and lack of satisfactory customer support. The inconsistent performance and intrusive notifications significantly detract from user experience for many. Pros
- Integrates with Spectrum Security Suite to provide encryption and protection when logging into financial sites.
- Provides some level of malware protection and security for browser activities.
- Free to use, which is appreciated by some users.
- Works well for some users, providing a sense of safety when browsing.
Cons
- Frequent and persistent pop-up prompts to install or configure the extension even when already installed and active.
- Extension often does not function properly, requiring repeated reinstallation or reactivation.
- VPN functionality causes connection issues and slow browsing experience, often forcing users to disable VPN.
- Poor customer support and help resources, leading to frustration for users facing issues.
- Does not block ads effectively compared to alternatives like uBlock Origin.

| 2025-06-15 | ***** | | I do not believe that this is a free service anymore. This app is no longer working on my Windows 11 machine. I uninstall it and reinstall it but it still doesn't work. From what I have seen, it looks like they are charging $4.99 for this protection now. Not cool. |
| 2025-06-12 | Fr***** | | jeg får hele tiden (dagligt) mange beskeder om, at udvidelsen ikke er aktiv og skal stås til, også selvom den er aktiv. Træls. Blokerer ofte kommunikation til Bank/Mit Id. Jeg må derfor ofte slå VPN fra. Kan det ikke gøres bedre? VPN blokerer helt unødigt! |
| 2025-06-09 | To***** | | irritating pop up every 20 minutes saying i need to install it...its already installed. I cant even remove it |
| 2025-06-03 | Пе***** | | Подтверждаю ошибку, не смотря на то что расширение установлено, в самом антивирусе висит предупреждение о его настройке. Исправьте пожалуйста. |

| 2025-05-21 | Si***** | | Miksi tätä kehotetta ei saa pois päältä!? Ärsyttävää leikkiä aina konetta käynnistäessä. Onko muilla kokemusta kilpailevista turvaohjelmista? |
| 2025-05-20 | OT***** | | F-secure total pyytää kokoajan päivittämään "Määritä selainlaajennus" vaikka Edge ilmoittaa, että se on jo asennettu. Sitä kehotusta ei saa pois vaikka mitä tekisi. |
| 2025-05-18 | Ja***** | | Monique moi je l'ai en francais |
| 2025-05-18 | Ch***** | | Have to keep installing on Edge! |
| 2025-05-17 | Au***** | | The add-on has been having issues initializing, having to remove it and then re setting it up through the security suite to get it working every time I open up the edge browser. |
