Predatotal AV

I bought their basic subscription priced at $2.99, for which I was charged $78. After two days of their disingenuous back-and-forth, it's down to $39. Wish I'd read the reviews before I purchased because apparently this is a common scam with them. Still trying to cancel. Murrel Patterson, Baldwin Mi

Minor inconvenience

It would be nice if I didn't have to login every time my computer is restarted. If it weren't for that inconvenience, I would give it 5*s!

I purchased Total AV for $29 because I did not discover a way to get it free. After I had downloaded it I discovered that my purchase was scheduled for automatic annual renewal, which I had not asked for. I could not find a way of cancelling this on the website, so I sent a request to remove my credit card number. The response was a warning that I would lose the benefits of Total AV. I replied asking for the auto renewal to be cancelled. My subscription was terminated at that point, but my purchase price of $29 was not.

I never subscribed to TotalAV yet, they charged my debit card $99.95 for one year!! I cannot reach anyone and want them to credit my account. I don't know how they got the number on my debit card. I live below the poverty level and could never afford a subscription for $99.95. I will keep trying to reach them and if there are new developments, I will let you know here. Monique Lacroix, CANADA. Thank you. On their site (page) they advertise TotalAV Protection for $19.00 annually!!!! I can't seem to get a hold of anyone. I can be reached at 819-669-6156 and email is: moniklacroix2@gmail.com.

Happy with my service.
Windows User
Total AV cleans up my files, checks for viruses, and malware, and flags me when something is not quite right. It also helps with clearing space due to unnecessary files. I highly recommend it to anyone! KH

It looks Great?
Windows User
No one seems willing to tell me what it's doing to my system. The hype says that it's doing a lot to save my computer from being infected and eliminating unneeded programs or whatever they are. I just don't like being in the dark. I want this program gone.

New Customer...first experience ordering anti virus protection. Instructions not thorough..left me hanging!!
Windows User
I was not too pleased at first! After, downloading the free protection program, I filled out the necessary information and paid $19.99 for additional, protection coverage.
I never received any type of confirmation and never saw a scan!! .I did not even know if "TotalAV" had processed my order, and did not even receive a receipt showing my total charges!!

I ended up calling TotalAV phone number, only to receive a customer service agent who hardly spoke English and had heavy accent. I, still don't really know, what I did, but finally stumbled unto a page that got me to where, I needed to go, I ran the scan, and am now relieved knowing my computer is protected. Please send the receipt of what I was charged. Thank You.

Windows User
I never expected that every time I use this app. I would get bombarded with advertisements for more of your products. If I wish to purchase more of your products I will look them up.
