Terrible company to deal with
I was offered a trial of Total AV for $2.99 per month with the option to cancel. I tried to cancel almost immediately when I realized the price would be $8.99 per month. They agreed to refund my money, but they never did until 6 months later after constant phone calls and emails. I have records of emails where they agreed to the refund but did not follow through. I finally disputed the 6 months of charges with my credit card company and they are helping me.
User's recommendation: Think twice before dealing with these folks.

Dissatisfied customer
Initially charged 2.99. I guess I thought it was a one time charge but it was a monthly charge that was increased to 8.99 per month. I really don't remember even signing up for this service.
User's recommendation: Don't get involved with or subscribe to this serviice.

Shut me out of my WiFi and cut my download speed in half.
Installed Total Av about a month ago for $39 + $9 for VPN. After about a week, response time was increasing, and some of my conservative and trusted sites became erratic and kept getting kicked out. Internet speed decreased from 100 mbps to 50 or just under. Not a happy camper. Wouldn't recommend Total Av at all. I didnt contact Total Av as I didnt care to argue on why I should keep them.
User's recommendation: My experience was not satisfactory.

Verified ReviewerTotalAV is a SCAM & a RIPOFF!!!!
Paid $29.00 for a years subscription. Everything was OK till a week had past &;;;;;;;;;;;;;; then started getting pop-ups "your trial subscription is over" After 10 e-mails they refuse to return my money. They keep sending stupid remedies when in fact they screwed up & didn't activate my accounts. They accuse me of not logging in correctly & using the wrong log in info. My Credit Union refuses to file FRAUD charges. So, I am going to file on them in Saint Louis Missouri Courts. Have them served by mail in the UK. When they don't show up I win by DEFAULT. Then I will post that all over the NET. Nothing ILLEGAL about posting the TRUTH.

Price misleading
I downloaded TotalAV for an offer of $3 but ended up costing me $19. At $19 per year for 3 units was a good deal, but even though the program scanned my entire system and found several items that needed attention the program kept asking me to upgrade to fix the issues. I have sent TotalAV an email about my results and have asked for a refund.
User's recommendation: Unless you are willing to put out extra $$ for the full package don't bother with this misleading software.

Verified ReviewerCharged me for services I didn't request
Update by user Feb 12
I did get an email saying it has been resolved, however, I'm waiting until after the weekend to see if that is true.....
Original review posted by user Feb 11
I signed up online for the "free" trial and they charged me $29.00 for it. They then added an additional charge of $40 for "additional services for mobile devices that I needed". Since I don't own any mobile devices, I contacted them immediately to stop the service. I got an email back from to "give it a try" before I did cancel. I don't know how they expect me to do that when I don't have a device to try it with. After 8 additional emails, they still haven't cancelled it. I contacted my credit card company and disputed the charge. I then contacted the BBB, FTC, and the Attorney General in my state and filed a complaint against them there. ID

Verified ReviewerService was blocking my emails from being sent out. I have 4 emails and 2 did not function when I had the Total VPN on. I asked for a refund and they would not refund my money
I sent an email to cancel the service within the 30 day window. They did not respond for 2 days then offered more services, sent an emial to a different email than my order. Finally they asked me to confirm my cancallation which I did. Then I get an email stating they cannot find my customer number and email. By this time 8 days have gone by and now they stated that I did not cancel within the 30 day window. TOTAL SCAM played the delay game with me. This company just gives you the run around. Terrible company, all there people are trained to NOT get a Manager or not provide a refund, delay, delay, delay until time is up. Please DO NOT USE This Company for any software purchases.
User's recommendation: DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM.

Very disappointed
II signed up for a trial, and then you are taking money from my account for a subscription. Then you ignored my requests to cancel. I would not sign up for this again without reading the small print very carefully. What a total waste of money this was.
User's recommendation: This is a monthly subscription you will find difficult to cancel.

Subscription payment rip off
TotalAV just tried to take £144 payment from my bank account. I cancelled my subscription with them 2 years ago. I originally paid around £19 for the first subscription, they then took £92 the following year and now attempted to take £144. Fortunately my bank queried this and blocked the payment, and all future attempts from TotalAV. I called TotalAV and was assured that the subscription charges would be cancelled - but I'm glad my bank was on the ball. Devious and dubious practices.
User's recommendation: Don't go there!

Verified ReviewerI did not know about the sneaky automatic renewal fee charged without my (Customer) cinsent.
I was charged $99 renewal fee without knowing or wanting it for $99I cannot get them to take it off. I have sent several E-mails, They tell me it is not the correct E-mail from papal. I only have the one. I am considering a small claims issue. Stay away from this company. They are taking advantage of customers.
User's recommendation: Stay away from this product and company. should be reported to better business bureau.
