Supersafe on Android in funny state

Here a couple of screenshots from my Android phone.

I am a little concerned that the status message says "PROTECTION IS OFF", while dashboard says "device is protected". Which one do I believe?

Hi Jbuchanangb, have you tried removing and reinstalling it?

I've done that, and I'll see what happens. The process grabbed another F-secure licence, but I've logged on and released the previous one. I think I will have to find the place to redefine the Supersafe browser as the default. The will be a thread in here somewhere about that because I asked for hep before.

On Android Google have ensured that you can't set an alternate browser as default.

My "Android" phone is actually running MIUI, which does allow an alternative default browser. I'm pretty sure my previous Samsung allowed it too. Incidentally when re-installing Supersafe on the Xiaomi POCO phone running MIUI, I was prompted to change some permissions. I just gave Supersafe every possible permission, to give it its best chance. The phone has its own software which scans every app which I download, so they all get scanned twice, once by that and once by Supersafe.
