This app is intrusive and very aggressive on both memory and battery usage. You need to redesign this app and optimize to our devices or remove it entirely. I did not have a choice in activating and running this app. It even ignored my settings when I set it to disable all scanning. So it appears the app is also broken.
Device: LG V30

I did, on the latest version, it literally ignored that setting and scanned every single app I downloaded and in the background at all times. It even showed a notification bar stating it is "on" and never went away.

I have a Samsung S7. I finally just blocked it from telling me that it was using battery. But now I have an issue with it telling me that my friend's internet connection (that you need a password to connect to) is unsecured.

I know how important it is to have your phone working as it should be, JTBetz.
Can you tell me when you updated the phone? Is your battery draining faster as well?
Thank you,

Vanessa,
The last phone operating system was on November 20, 2018 (to J327VVRU2BRHA
dated Oct 16, 2018).
Maybe the battery is draining slightly faster than before but it isn't
drastic. In the battery usage screen, Security & Privacy is not shown as
an app currently using the battery - not even under Sleeping Apps.
So I guess the major issue might the unclearable message about it using the
battery.

I agree that an app that drains a phone is frustrating, JoeMikeKnight. Let’s investigate. What are the top 3 apps under Settings > Battery > Device Usage? Has the Security & Privacy app’s update been uninstalled and reinstalled?

I'm sorry to learn that your phone is notifying you that your friend's internet connection is unsecured,
NICMOR20. I can help. When did this issue start? Do you get this notification with every WiFi network or only with specific networks?

Security & Privacy draining your Motorola Moto Z Play’s
battery, I agree should not be occurring, buffalo88fan. We’re on the case. What
are the top 3 apps under Settings > Battery > Device Usage? Has the Security & Privacy app’s update
been uninstalled and reinstalled?
