I have had Total for approx 5 month and I have had the programme disappear off my computer twice now so not sure if this programme is for me, I only noticed this time because I got an email saying it needed renewing and not due while end of June 2021

Confusing summation
Windows User
At the end the summation seemed to say (to me)
the opposite to what I would expect. Its just the wording.
I will have to presume you detected all the bad stuff and
blocked it for me, in which case I am very grateful and
thank you.

Very Good
Windows User
Total AV does a very thorough scan. My only criticism is that the programmes I wish to not be quarantined keep reappearing each scan. Otherwise an excellent antivirus product.

Terrible product
Mac User
I have a Mac running Catalina and unfortunately got involved with AV. It was a terrible mistake as the product never worked and I made them aware of that fact quickly. The situation did not change and I asked for a refund and months later I am still waiting. Lots of pointless e-mails from them almost all of them ignoring my correspondence. 30 day money back guarantee says their website. That's a lie.

Best Antivirus
Windows User
Since I added TotalAV to my set of apps my laptop has been running smoothly. The app is very straightforward and has very practical features. The duplicate file finder is a very handy application.
