Have not been able to activate for for months. they sure as hell know how to keep taking my money.

Very disappointed. While the protection may be good, it's annoying messaging is irritating. I also keep getting requests to register by calling a phone number even though I am a paid registered user. I'm going to try to cancel and get my money back.
