I have already bought a license for my PC, when I tried to install this app from the Play store and add my license number to upgrade to premium features I have already paid for, I click the link to "sign in/ enter license number", nothing happens. I think it is a scam to get me to pay again for something I have already purchased. I uninstalled the app. I am also considering changing my virus protection provider.
★☆☆☆☆Alan Reynolds· Jun 13, 2026
Spent 2 days trying to renew my subscription I have used trend for about 30yrs but thinking of a change if the update is not as easy as it was
★★☆☆☆Jack Dobbins· Jun 16, 2026
It is decent, but you shouldn't have to pay for a subscription to see virus scan results if it has limited features for the unpaid version. An unpaid virus scanner app at least lets you scan your phone from the app and see the status of your phone's safety... subscriptions usually are for the automatic scan and deep scan stuff...but I'm sure the developers of the app knew that already, you're just little piggies for money, and I get it!
★☆☆☆☆Sabrina Carmant· May 7, 2026
A new random annoying popup anytime you open any app that involves shopping and it won't go away. Suddenly my at home secured network that never had an issue before is now "unsecured" according to this app, and I need to get their vpn! I already have a vpn and my network is secured, so its just lying. I added my network as a trusted connection, I restarted my phone, nothing works. The popup won't go away. I'm uninstalling. If this continues I'll cancel my subscription.
