Only one day

I have only used this for one day, but so far it seems pretty reasonable to use.

Good Protection.

The rating I have given (4) are based on the length of time in use: which are very short. The performance of Total AV continues, I can easily rate the performance a healthy (5). I believe, the performance will meet all of my expectation.

Trusted the reviews

I have been using Total AV for a month only.
I hadtrusted the reviews, when I was chosing it.
Onboarding was a bit problematic due to thepushy additional sales activities, but all was sorted out.
I believe that is is a good AV SW, the only "issue" that it revs the CPU almost all the time.
It consumes a temporary 15-25% performance of the CPU (Intel i9 vPro).
Hopefully it will reduce, as hearing the vent spinning all the time is a bit annoying.

Directions were truncated and too brief. No way to get additional information.
