Netspark’s Uninstall Protection feature prevents unauthorized attempts to uninstall or bypass the filter. We strongly recommend enabling this feature during the installation of Netspark, as it includes various anti-tamper measures. Once activated, an Uninstall Password will be required to remove Netspark Mobile from your device.
