★★★★☆ Gotithowigetit Youtube · Feb 14, 2021
So far it did detect my ransomware, and they did get rid of it, but they did contain it thank you
★☆☆☆☆ Anonymous Glitcher · Apr 20, 2018
This did NOT protect from ransomware at all! First I tested it by just installing the ransomware and nothing was detected, I then opened the ransomware and still nothing, a few seconds later the tested device was fully locked and ruined. I do NOT approve this app.
★☆☆☆☆ John Emerson · Apr 26, 2024
As soon as I installed it, it told me my trial was expired and tried to make me upgrade and pay before I could even use it. Immediately uninstalled.
★☆☆☆☆ Rishav Tiwary · Jun 1, 2022
I have installed ransomware files but this app doesn't identify. This app is not even worth of 1 star.
★☆☆☆☆ tom o'd · Aug 28, 2019

The application is easy to use and provides full protection against known Ransomware such as Locky, Petya and others, as well as protection against new Ransomware types.
