Be Watchful of Automatic Renewal Premiums
Windows User
For 2 years running Total AV have tried to rip me off with hugely inflated automatic renewal premiums - this year they took in excess of £ 160 until I contacted my credit card. They eventually offered me a more sensible renewal of £ 23 in line with what I started paying 2 years ago. For that price it's an excellent antivirus app. At £ 160 plus it's a total rip off.

Great for PC, Terrible for Tablets & Phones
Windows User
As an antivirus product, I couldn't ask for better in protecting my PC. However, the product has an extremely LARGE (4.8Gb) footprint, making it unsuitable for use in protecting a tablet device or phone.

Easy to Install
Windows User
Very simple program to install. The only downside is the multiple pricing add-ons for extra protection. Would be a much better program if there were fewer pricing options and everything was included.

some problems
Windows User
Total VPN was easy to install and the scans and cleanings are great, but, I can not get my VPN to work. If they can fix this feature, I'll change my rating to 10/10.
