Resolved: Total Av - My recommendation is not to attempt to use this product.

1.0
Details

Update by user Feb 20

My credit card company contacted the TotalAV rep and got a commitment to credit my credit card.

Original review posted by user Feb 20

I saw the ads for TotalAV on AOL and decided to try this product for a free trial. To begin, the download and install process is a nightmare, and when I tried to open and utilize the product, I kept getting the message that I did not have permission to use the product. I decided to cancel, but ran into an infuriating process with the customer service rep. To begin, the guy was definitely not an accomplished English speaking person and I had great difficulty understanding him. Then after several minutes of giving him all kinds of information, he wanted me to listen to a recorded message that was promoting another product, which I had no interest in, but he wanted me to say "OK" , which seemed to me to be an acceptance of that product. I refused to say OK, but he kept insisting. I finally just had to hang up and contact my credit card company. They were finally successful in getting a refund of my purchase. Hopefully no one else will have to got thru this. Although I imagine the product itself is probably OK, it is a real hassle to deal with their customer service.

When they keep saying free, free, and the a trial basis is free, don't touch it. Don't fall for it. NOTHING IS FREE.

Cost of Total AV

Please read the small print to ensure the total cost of the program. I paid an initial cost, then they came back twist via my PayPal account and took further amounts. So my advice read the small print and don't use PayPal to pay. (No offence to PayPal they are a genuinely good company)

Details

Update by user Jun 25

The Walmart debit card I used was ****-****-****-7994. valid thru 05/23.

CVS CODE: 928.

I still do not now how they used the card? I hope this helps.

For some reason My debit card was hit for $99.00? I see that it sells for $19.00 with 80% off. I did not receive it or buy it. I have no idea how the charged me $99.00?

Total Av - Garbage Product--Will Stall your Computer

1.0
Details
I downloaded this product for $19.99, and then got inundated with "upgrade" offers while going through the purchase process. Though I declined all the offers, this software company decided I really wanted two of them, and billed me $39.95 twice for products I affirmatively declined. That wasn't the worst part, the program screwed up my computer to the point I had to wipe the hard drive and reinstall everything. Absolute disaster--run--don't walk away from these shysters.

User's recommendation: Run away from these shysters before they rob you and screw up your computer.

Total Av - Just lousy. Interrupted

1.1
Details
Did not allow for smooth flow, got a herky jerky performance since installing. Often stopped phone. Randomly shut it off. Price went way up after 30 days. Just a very unpleasant experience all the way around.

User's recommendation: use a different provider.

Total Av - Unprofessional service.

Details
I used Total for a year. When it came time to auto-renew I canceled service. I was still charged a year again and was told I would get a refund. I never got my refund and Paypal denied my case siding with the seller (Total AV). Terrible customer service and a scam company.

User's recommendation: DO NOT USE!!

Total Av - Virus

I have a virus in spite of a current annual subscription cover. This must be resolved or at least contact me and tell me what you have/will do about this. When it comes time for renewal I will only do so if this is resolved promptly. I will complete my review to future customers depending on how this is handled.

I have a credit card but DO NOT use the number on the card. This card offers virtual numbers (about 20) associated with the card number.

When it generates a virtual number, that number can be used for ONE and only ONE purchase. If it is attempted to charge a second time on that virtual number it is declined. A great safety feature.

And the real card number cannot be traced. I can't believe only one major credit card company offers this service.

Total Av - Failure to cancel & refund when requested & per their own guarantee.

1.0
Details
1. Signed up March 23. 2. Cancelled April 18. 3. They did NOT cancel as requested. 4. In spite of several emails affirming the cancellation, they only refunded part of the charge. 5. Now debating doing a CC chargeback. 6. The service offered is not all that great, hard to follow, not obvious how to do what.

User's recommendation: NEVER NEVER.
