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.

With Total AV you can chose the option you want and all features are individually priced. I wanted a non obtrusive anti virus that wouldn't take over all my control...Yay I found this with Total AV

Affordable for now

I like the introductory price which was a great incentive to try your program. However after the trial period the price dramatically rises to $99.00 per year. Why don't you offer a payment plan of a smaller amount each month. A monthly payment plan would help a lot for people affected by the pandemic. If you don't offer a monthly payment plan by the end of my trial period, I'll most likely cancel my subscription. Otherwise, I like your antivirus program.

Requested a refund before 30 days without ever activating, they told me I had been using it extensively, that they wanted to give me a deal; the deal was what I had already paid. When I said again I want to cancel they never responded. Unfortunately I was dealing with cancer treatment so failed to realize this. Now this year they charge a renewal fee, when I saw that I found notice in my junk. Told them I had cancelled and to return all funds. Again they tell me they want to give me a good deal, WHAT I PAID! They acknowledge the previous request but do nothing. When I persist they tell me I have to go to a link and sign in to be able to cancel (something not said previously). After I cancel they tell me how much they want to keep me and hav...Show More

Cleaned up my laptop easily and efficiently- Was great to use and prompts you to do the things you should. Good at freeing up disk space, general protection and very smooth to use. Icons are easy to read and work well.
