Paladin-VPN commented 2 months ago

We're puzzled as to why our free VPN service is being singled out, while others like BrightVPN.com, Hola.org, and Urban-VPN.com are considered acceptable and aren't mentioned in your post, despite having a larger user base than PaladinVPN. PaladinVPN transparently explains on its website and during installation why the service is free, as detailed in the review on VPNCentral.

Furthermore, the Honeygain.com app allows users to utilize your IP address and bandwidth in exchange for a small revenue share. Again it seems we are being unfairly targeted to damage our business.

I download paladinvpn from Microsoft store suddenly my windows defender detect 4 viruses when I launched Paladinvpn,,, one virus name was Detected: TrojanProxy:Win32/Acapaladat.A ,,,, look at the name of the virus it's kinda have the same letters of paladinvpn = paladat ,,,,, Also my windows defender have considered the viruses as severe ,,, so There's no doubt that Paladinvpn is virus Spreader ,,, Also I haven't spoke about other companies because I never tried them yet , so no one is targeting you ,
