XP Compatibility

When I purchased TotalAV, it WAS compatible with XP. But now it is not. When I try to download the extras that you'll need, it says "Not compatible with XP". They changed mid-stream to no more XP downloads. So I have the main AV anti-virus, but cannot download anything else offered that are important to a good anti-virus program. It's a cheap shot to current XP users of AV!

Good but could be great
Android User
So far easy to use and offers peace of mind. The VPN offer was misleading though. It wants me to pay extra for it when it said it was included. That I'm not happy about

I had picked up multiple viruses on my computer, and struggled to clear them. my computer was working very slowly.
I am very happy the results the anti Virus has done a great job. And my computer is working a lot better

Great tool to clean house on your Mac

I suffered from a "RecordMapper" virus/malware trying to call back info and set up shop on my MacOS. None of my attempts to squash it totally worked until I bought TotalAV.

Effective Antivirus Program
Mac User
I've used this Software for quite a few years now and haven't had any problems with anything yet so that has to be a good reason to recommend a product I think.The only thing I would say is slightly confusing to me now that the interface has changed and there are a few additional new features is that the Data Breach Check seems to take ages to complete after a Smart Scan has been done, I don't know if this is how it is supposed to be or not as I didn't have this feature before on the original version.It's not a big deal but just a bit odd that's all.

No annoying pop-ups!
Windows User
I have been using TotalAV for quite awhile now, from what I have seen other av's have constant pop-ups warning you about tedious things! I have yet to run into this issue with TotalAV and it works great!
