There’s also a ‘premium protection’ level, which is the most expensive – the price currently stands at $48.99 a year.

Another notable feature is children protection. The premium level has a powerful tool that can block any website that would be dangerous for a person that’s under 18. Having this in mind, the ‘premium protection’ level really offers you a full kit of powerful tools to stay safe, so it is the most valuable choice.
