REVIEW TOTAL AV
Mac User
I had a problem when I upgraded my Mac from High Sierra to Big Sur and was actually, quite pleased you were able to help me. But I think you need to have a PHONE # TO ACTUALLY TALK TO A HUMAN! Otherwise, pleased with the performance of the antivirus, and it's functions.

AV has been nothing but trouble, always needing tech support. You send them description of problem, they reply with brief instructions that often don't resolve a problem.
I DO NOT recommend AV. There's several better Anti-virus programs out there, such as McAfee, Norton, & Avast. THEY include everything, so you never have to purchase add-ons. Price too high you say? Well look at all the money you need to get these needed addons from AV. In the long run you will spend more on AV than price of the 3 mentioned companies above. THEY are comprehensive, AV is not!
(I have McAfee in my Windows 10 & AVAST on my Windows 7. I never have to do anything, they have always protected my PC's from everything. AV let a virus/malware infect my XP, ...Show More
