This issue may occur if the "accessibility" features required to use the Web Threat Protection feature are no longer available from Virus Block.

We are continuing to investigate the cause of the inability to use the "Accessibility" feature.

If you are still experiencing issues after updating the app to the latest version, please check if the following steps resolve the issue.

1. Check the accessibility settings and turn them on. (If it's already on, turn it off and turn it on again)

[Location information] About acquiring permissions

To enable the Wi-Fi safety check, you need to enable the [Location] permission.

The [Location information] permission is used to check the security of the Wi-Fi connection when using banking apps etc. over Wi-Fi.

This authority is not used to obtain location information such as GPS.

If you use banking apps etc. over Wi-Fi, we recommend enabling permissions.

Also, even if you do not enable the [Location information] permission, protection functions other than Wi-Fi safety check are enabled.
