Total Av customer service is a nightmare to deal with. They will not accept NO when it comes to you NOT wanting their product or to continue with their product.

Constant e mail's harrasing me never installed that product ?
Answered their AD for free trial then found they charged my card for it a monthly charge of $2.99 forever ? Had to give my card # to get the free trial ? Cancelled it right away but they would not cancel it only thing I could do was cancel my credit card that I had for years ? Then the e mail's started to harass me weekly I never did install their product? Also cancelled online this many times but they keep telling me to install the program, This is a SCAM
User's recommendation: Don't reply to them ?can't get rid of them if you do ???

Refund refused
I got my bill from my Bank on it was the amount of £58.80, which I did not recognise it was from TotalAV. I contacted them for a refund, having not authorised the payment. I had been a user previously, I was not satisfied as I had not seen or heard from them during the previous year, I was not even sure I was getting any service from them. My request for a refund was refused on the grounds that 30 days had elapsed, which I felt was mad as I had only just received my Bank statement and of course was unaware they were taking money from my account????????????????????????????
User's recommendation: Beware of TotalAV.

Verified ReviewerTotal AV bogus charges
TotalAV charged my credit card 3 months ago for $99. I do not have TotalAV, I got my credit card company to remove the charges, and they issued a new card to me. Two months ago the same thing happened. Again my credit card company removed the charges and issued a new card for me. This month I used the new card to make a payment to TMobile using my phone. The 2 previous months I used my computer. The only time I have used this card was to pay the TMobile bill. TotalAV charged my CC again. They are getting my information from TMobile, so I am going to change to another phone service provide.
User's recommendation: Don't use TotalAV or TMobile.

Verified ReviewerI cancelled my account in Oct 2019. Then in Sept of 2020, I'm charged $99.00 for a year of coverage.
I NEVER ORDERED OR OK'D This transaction. I am now working with PayPal to get my money refunded. This is a violation of retaining my credit card info and using it at a later time. I do not do AUTO Renews for this reason. Not happy at all.
User's recommendation: AVAST virus protection is the only one who I trust now!

I am still receiving emails informing me they have not been able to access my monthly subscription, as I cancelled direct debit. I am concerned this may go against credit score.
Also informs me of the risk of not having cover, I have informed them from start I am using another supplier. Just want to stop sending me emails.

I have not downloaded the app as I realised I still had six months left with other software
I am having one *** of a job to cancel this within the time frame given as their links do not appear to be working In the interim I keeping getting emails to say I have not downloaded the app. I get the feeling that they are making if very difficult for me to cancel as they have already taken three payments from my bank and I feel it likely I have lost this money.
User's recommendation: Don't touch them with a barge pole.

I am having exactly the same issues with Total AV at this very moment in time. They send you an email with a 'link' to facilitate the cancellation of the contract you have with them, as there is NO manual option for renewal.
So, you NEED to personally cancel, even at the end of your term of contract. In their legal notes of service they state ' NO LOCKINS TO CONTRACTS', yet when you click on the link it takes you to their customer service page and there is the 'cancel' button BUT when you click on it, or attempt to click on it SUDDENLY your mouse shoots to the button to 'renew' subscription, that has just popped up?????

I want TotalAV removed from my PC--I am 72 years old and my financial resources are very limited. I have only my Social Security pension once each month. I need this application removed, but as I did not request it, nor did I have any knowledge it was self-installing until it suddenly popped up on my PC screen as it blocked my Internet Download Manager app from running. Please assist me in removing this application. Bonnie Jacobson - dazzelle123@***.com ID

I am having the same issues with Total AV and now are reporting the company to Action Fraud. My advice: Don't touch them, they're a nightmare to get away from.
