helps to secure my computers for me and my family, and save and protect passwords. I have already used the aura service twice for data breaches and i will never leave! Btw i have used the competitors and they are overpriced and have more hoops to jump through.

My issues are the inconsistency of this app. Once i sign in to this app, I SHOULD STAY SIGNED IN! Sometimes i'll log in on my desk top, an i'll suddenly recieve a frantic message "YOUR UNPROTECTED" blahblah blah.. I think, well why the hell is that? Ill be surfing, get message and go into Aura and SHIELD IS OFF. Why would shield ever turn off?? Well it does, often.

I am so glad I made the decision to use this app to help secure my PC and Phone. It keeps all of the junk off my browsers and secures my passwords. I love how it checks for breaches in other places and helps me resolve issues with other apps being hacked. I have updated and improved security on accounts I never thought would have issues. Thanks to this app watching out for me and my information.
