Netgear Armor
With the last firmware update for my Orbi router I received an offer for Netgear Armor trial, which I signed up for. Do I physically need to install any software on my iMac (running OS 10.14.5) or any of my families iPads or iPhones (also running the latest iOS)? I already have BitDefender Shield installed on my iMac for which I bought a multiyear license, although there is only a little more than one-half year left, so I really didn't worry about installing anything when I first signed up for Armor. If indeed, I do need to install something directly on my iMac, should I uninstall the BitDefender Shield that is already installed on my iMac? And finally, the original offer was for a 90day trial. I didn't mark down when that started, so don't know when it ends, and how do I sign up for a continuous protection beyond that time? Sorry for so many questions, but I can't seem to find a site that covers the Netgear Armor aspect.
