TOTALAV REVIEW

i've been using TotalAV for quite some time now and it is very good. I have no complaints but would recommend when getting new annual updated software that the need to uninstall the old version then install the new one be simply to install the new software which would overwrite the old version. This would eliminate all my problems during each version renewal. Also everytime my laptop goes to sleep and then when turning on the TotalAV is listed as off as well as MS Defender - Once I click Total AV to reopen and ensure the webshield is on I then run a new scan to ensure it is truthfully on which takes me more time. I also would recommend some sort of way the TotalAV analyzes your Start Up Manager to ensure there isn't any bad actors hiding on...Show More

What they do t protect my computer is a Good Job.But they do want to "give" you add on services which is why I almost canceled them. But every protection plan does the same thing. As bad as pop up adds on y computer

The instructions for installation were not very clear, but eventually I struggled through and got it done.

I'm really impressed with how this program works. It's easy to use as it fixes things that it finds, without telling you to fix it yourself and not telling you how. Plus it has a large array of programs within the program to keep your computer clean.

This is not a bad product it gives a certain amount of protection, but it does not always work properly for example the VPN is very temperamental and works when it wants to as for watching shows in other countries using the VPN I cannot say that I have ever had the pleasure of seeing that in action.

On the whole good. Main issue for me is the real time protection keep dropping off, & then difficult to get it back usually resulting in an uninstall & reinstall.
