Je ne peux plus me connecter avec Facebook ni avec Floa Bank et le nombre de sites bloqués va croissant Je n'avais aucun problème avec mon anti-virus précédent. Si ça continue je prendrais toutes mesures utiles pour y accéder avec un autre anti-virus

I disliked this extension when it began blocking sites I have been using for years. I have to disable the Banking protection to allow the sites to run and then enable it back every single time. I am giving it two stars because it works blocking viruses. I wish there was a way to fix it.

I hope all is well with you. I'm currently exploring avenues to enhance my business portfolio through strategic investments in Chrome extensions, and I've been particularly impressed with yours. I believe there's a tremendous opportunity for growth and would love to discuss the possibility of acquisition. We can negotiate a fair price and ensure a secure transaction via trusted escrow services like Escrow.com or CryptoExchange.com.
