    One potential route we might take is offering a setting like "Show VPN features [ on | off ]" or maybe "Show Identity features [ on | off ]" and then disabling this would hide said features.

    This is a good idea. However the main point of contention, for myself, is having all these features contained in a single app. This means that people will have to install these features even if they don't want them. You should never have to install something you don't want or need. Not sure how you would get around this other than having checkboxes upon installation as to what you want to install or seperate programs which it seems you do not want to do.

    Thanks for your blunt feedback. You’re right, we are a business and are looking to grow. However, this isn’t our only goal as we still want to offer a variety of solutions for free and/or at a lower cost.

    How do you think we can make an app that serves both your needs (of mostly a no nonsense AV) while also offering other features for those that want them? 

    What changes would you make? 

    If your going to have a program with a bunch of features that are included then the only way would be to offer the user a choice as to what they can install the first time they use MB. For example have a box where the user can opt out of installing the VPN or Identity Protection etc. When  they do this the gui show not show these features, not show any ads for these features, or be configurable where they can remove these features themselves. This way users can choose as to how bloated or lean their MB program is.

    I'll bite. Your doing all this for one reason only, to make money. Its just my opinion but I do not like my AV to be complicated or bloated with a bunch of nonsense I don't want such as a password manager or VPN. And I absolutely abhor any advertising in a paid program. The reason I stopped using Emsisoft is because of the management console they implemented which made doing anything overly complicated. Your going in a direction I do not like, however, I'm sure you wouldn't be doing it if your research has not shown that the majority of your users are ok with it. I'm sure they will absolutely pay more for shiny new features they may or may not need. Best of luck.

    My Latitude is too far South for Moose.

    I have a feeling @digmorcrusher  has the greater propensity for capturing a picture or video of Moose.

    YUp, there's plenty around here but you don't see them out in the open that much, I might see one once every 2 years.

    Let's be real here. Most people even in their twenties would have difficultly completing that without at least some amount of stretching, warming up. Even then I"m sure many still could not do. 

    I've seen people not able to even touch the tip of their finger to the floor when standing straight with no knee bending

     

    Wow, has it come to this? Are people so addicted to their screens that lack of exercise causes them not to be able to touch their toes. I'm 66, 30 lbs. overweight and I can get half of my fingers on the floor and am fairly certain with a bit of a warmup could get most of my palm on the floor with no knee bending. Now.... off to prepare supper, bbq ribeye steak and asparagus. 😋
