avg comes with one. pita, sometimes it turns it on when i don't want to use it. I used to mess around with it because I got avg because my phone kept getting hacked and I was like this thing comes with a vpn!!!!!!!! whaaaaaaat but tbh I have no use for t so I don't even use it.

ngl though, if i went out of the country and needed to access paypal instead of using zelle, id use it, other than that, it's annoying when i do a virus scan and it gets turned on after.
