It sucks. They keep trying to upsell me with a notice about no dark web protection, though they don't even show a logical way to upgrade. I keep closing the notice and it keeps coming back. About ready to remove the app.

Extension safety
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk
impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of
damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your
personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they
do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Total WebShield: Online Antivirus Protection requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
