Had problem getting VPN connected to New Zealand but after powering laptop off & on and selecting Australia it worked. I couldn't change the country until i powered off & on then all ok. Great so far, easy & fast.. I'm still learning how to use it, need to listen to the support videos...

Totally User Friendly, Customer Service support (Daniel) very helpful. First scan found things that Windows Defender and Malwarebytes missed.

I find the software very reliable but I am not sure that it is providing all the protections that I need because I always find too many cookies operating on my computer. Additionally I do not see any vpn protection.

when I asked for the 19.00 value I was charged $58.00 and the site doesn't tell you until after you have checked out. I didnt like that at all....Then it never said it was done downloading....stil waiting nearly an hour later.

Licensing Functionality
Windows User
The functionality is fine. Sometimes licensing is a little confusing. I do not find Total's marketing is nearly as aggressive and infuriating as some AV companies. Their intro price was good and I see no reason not to renew. We all need this service and I like these guys better than most.
