Common issues and how to fix them

Installation or update failures. If the installer fails or the product does not update, restart your device and try again. Ensure sufficient disk space and internet connection. Temporarily disable other security tools that may block installation.

Activation and license errors. Activation problems often relate to incorrect credentials or expired licenses. Check your registered email and activation code. If moving licenses between devices, remove the previous device first.

Slow performance or high resource usage. Keep the security client updated. Schedule full scans during idle hours. Adjust scan settings for lighter performance and review other background programs consuming memory.

False positives and blocked sites. If a trusted website or file is blocked, submit it for review instead of bypassing the warning. You can temporarily allow it and report false positives for global correction.

Account recovery and password reset. Use password recovery from your registered email. If access is lost, submit proof of purchase for account restoration. Always enable multi-factor authentication for stronger protection.

How to prepare before contacting support

Keep ready: registered email, product version, OS details, and any error messages. Document what steps you already tried to help support resolve your issue faster.
