NO! Just by removing the app does not make you safe!
NO! Having Armor walk you through their AdPush doesn't make you safe!
ANYTHING THEY DO LEAVES THE TROJAN Ad Push on your phone. When they tell you they have fixed it, they have just deactivated it. This is my personal message to them. I will see how they respond. I am sorry they screwed you guys, but they screw with kids who give them their money after parents like me give my kids an allowance, and they spend it wisely, but are ripped off by the ads that
are supposed to protect them.

This is my complaint to Armor, after they hung up on me 3X: I copied my complaint to them, and feel every should read it, since it won't be revealed by them in their "comments section."
For years I was an attorney, and a Certified Criminal Law Specialist. I handled major computer fraud cases at the federal level, and have worked with the Department of Justice in many matters.
Given the fact that I have also litigated major cases involving the rights to privacy on cell phones compared to computers, I am suspending my practice to become an IT professional and am working in the IT field.
I still use my knowledge as a criminal litigator to be hired as a consultant for attorneys who are litigating matters regarding IT companies, litigation privacy rights released by Google and other major data mining organizations. I cannot give legal advice, nor should take this as legal advice. It's computer IT advice. Do the research yourself. It's true.
I have built and fixed my own IT systems when I was practicing, and use the highest standards in protecting my projects and personal computers from viruses, such as the Ad-pusher that remained embedded in my son's tablet even after I removed [the] "Deluxe Version" of Armor for tablets.
Then I was curious. I logged onto your site using my professional computer. The professional companies that use the highest standards for both families and small businesses such Norton and McAfee list any Armor download as malware, and won't even allow me to download it to my computer so I could attempt to open it and figure it out myself.
I decided after [they] destroyed my son's tablet, to take the chance. I took down every firewall I have. I logged onto [their] site. I tried to download it to my computer. BUT - even though I download programs from around the world, using any platform or requiring any OS you could imagine, I couldn't download anything Armor has so I could review it myself, UNLESS I DOWNLOADED THE ARMOR INSTALLATION PROGRAM!!!! I had to stop there. Even the basic Windows 95 is capable of downloading anything - it's just that it may not work on your computer. No download installer I can find will let me download the app without buying your "installation wizard" which is supposed to protect me.
I tried to call [them] three times, so I could solve this problem. I note that you posted an apology in your post on one complaint site and you asked for them to contact you. Funny. You didn't give a number.
The next post was from another angry user, who noted that you had not given the first complaint a number to call, so she posted [their] number in that complaint forum. I called three times. I was welcomed, told you wanted to assist me, told I was being recorded to ensure proper service (I'm glad because it was this type of recording that the Department of Justice used to shut down another fraud scheme and settle a case if the company revised their practices, and they were allowed to re-open in six months.
I don't list the name of that company, because indeed, after being caught by the Department of Justice, they cleaned up their act.
But, that's where you are headed.
Please contact me at 928-779-0602. I would like to talk to a real person, and not be hung up on.
For everyone else who reads this, I provided them my home, personal, phone number. The Department of Justice is investigation this company. For those of you who believe they have removed the problem, they haven't. It's still there. They just know how to shut it down and stop it from working. For a time . . .
Everyone should join together. Even if you think you haven't been ripped off, and that your iphone, android phone, or tablet hasn't been hurt, you are wrong. It has. All of your data has been data-minded and sold to third parties. Just watch and see.
1) [You] pay [Armor] to buy their product, and that's actually the virus,
2.) You pay [Armor] to find the viruses they put by paying $1 EVERY DAY (30 DOLLARS A MONTH,
3) To help you disable the Trojan virus [armor] on your phone - [armor doesn't] remove it. They terminate it's function. I don't know how long.
Call the Department of Justice in your state and complain by looking up your state at justice.gov. That is the top web-page for the Department of Justice, and will take you to the right place. You won't be the only one.
This is like a person planting weed seeds in your garden, and then coming back in a month and offering to pull the weeks if you pay them. I don't care if I lost$10. I don't care if I'm angry. But there comes a time when as parents and adults that we need to also think of the children with tablets or smart phones, who have their devices harmed by this company. Google their name and see how many times they've been sued. Facts speak for themselves. So will yours.

Really. When you call them they won't act surprised. They will know right away what your complaint is going to be. Isn't that enough proof that there's a real problem here?
