My Love-Hate Relationship with Total AV
Windows User
Let me start by saying that Total AV has helped me greatly, but the number one thing that I HATE about the service is that you have to pay $ for this, and $ for that, like ordering a meal in a restaurant. I would LOVE-LOVE-LOVE it if you would offer an all-in-one service that can do it all! Before Total AV, I used Norton. But Norton failed to block ransomeware which froze my system and led to losing access to my laptop for nearly a week and cost me a couple of hundred dollars to get back online and running smoothly. After doing my homework I discovered Total AV. But lately, I've been having issues with my browser freezing up, and just general performance issues. With what I paying now, I'm beginning to wonder if there isn't some other way t...Show More

Good Protection
Windows User
Total AV is great for security protection however they need to sort the glitch where it tells you that you are unprotected at the renewal subscription period each month, then until it refreshes you could fall into the trap of resubscribing and paying twice.

Have been using TotalAV for 3 years and haven't had any issues or viruses. Definitely worth the price which is very competitive.

I like Total AV
Windows User
I have very much enjoyed the security Total AV has given me over our 2 years together.

The only grievances I have are the fact that the VPN (which I have paid for) does not work because "my memory is corrupt", and it does not explain to me what I should do to fix the memory and get the VPN to work. Total AV also restricts some totally legal and safe downloads apparently for just the sake of it, and again, there are no instructions for me to fix the problem. For these two issues, I deduct one star. But the remaining 4 are well earned; many thanks, Total AV :)

Needs power off function
Windows User
Overall it seems to be a great package, easy to use, and as far as I can tell effective.
However, I want a power off function accessible from the longer scan.
This is enough to make me look for another provider.
