I love your anti-virus. The only thing I dislike is the presence of those annoying pop ups. They cost you a star.

Very good!

Total AV detects and removes threats that Windows Defender misses, and that is a secure feeling.

Not covered
Windows User
What I don't like: Not covered for all, you always want more money for more protection. You offer three more months free, you want my information , which you already have.

TotalAV AWSOME
Windows User
TotalAV works in the background, fast and scans auxillary drives as well as the installed drives. FANTASTIC! I love it. I have had some very good antivirus and paid quite a bit for them but none have been better.

I have used Total Av for almost a year now, and have found it does everything I would like an antivirus to do. Easy to read and fast scans.

Total AV honest review
Windows User
I purchase Total AV becaue it had good reviews and seemed to be a good choice for me however since I installed it and set it up my computer is running so slow and every single program takes forever to load. I have downloaded nothing new at all. It has to be Total Av. I am sure it does its job in finding malware and viruses but at what cost to my computer performance. It is totally unacceptable. Very disappointed in this product and will be asking for a refund.

Can not even get past Sales
Windows User
There is no sales contact on their website, just Tech and Billing, don't try asking any questions as they will not reply. Only if you register and not install, will you get an email from sales but don't think you can ask them a question because very time you reply a different rep or AI from the 80's (Jury is out on this right now) will just send you more marketing or promo offer. No one knows how to read at their end and they market software?!?! Needless to say, I'm staying clear of this one.

Easy to use and I like that it does all the "housekeeping" along with protection from threats.
