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

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.

Fraudulent credit card charge
I never heard of this company, but they somehow got my credit card number and charged me $119. I do not have Total AV and I have never used any of their products. It turns out that a Google Search reveals that many people have been in my same situation.

True account of subscibtion
When I bought my laptop I was drawn to the security aspect of my computer and there was initially free for a short period and took it on but was surprised to be charged and debited, how they were able to get my details I do not know ,so I immediately cancelled it later on £59-00 taken from my account, then after a conversation with a man from AV I was told I would receive a refund in a few days time but two weeks later no sign of the money, so that qualifies it as a con????!!
User's recommendation: Check before you share to any offers for a free period of any security.

Refund provided upon request but frequent discount email offers
Original review posted by user Jan 04
As stated by many reviewers here I can say I had many of the same issues. What started out being a $6 purchase grew into over $150. The download and install process is like buying a coffee. Offers to upgrade to this version or to add on some extra feature from start to finish. I had no problem requesting and receiving a full refund. However, I receive dozens of "final" email offers to buy the entire bundle for $19. So, if you want a price that makes more sense, make the full upgrade buys then after a day or two of working with it, cancel and request a refund. Give it a week or two and special discounted price offers will starting coming in. ID

Verified ReviewerTOTAL AV DOESN'T GIVE A D**N
Over the 8 months since I renewed this Antivirus I have had a blue box (RENEW/UNINSTALL) popup at least 4 times per day and TI reached out by phone and email (totaling 20+ times) asking for help with this as it was very annoying! You can't get rid of the blue box until you click on renew/uninstall! They requested screenshots and other tasks that I complied with. I scheduled 3 separate remote sessions and they told me that my account was up to date but couldn't find anything? A couple of weeks ago they said they were escalating this issue to their senior tech team and they would be contacting me! Well, they never did, they sent me another email requesting a 4th remote session! No chance, it'll be taking up my time again for zero results! By this time, I don't want anything to do with Total AV and plan to delete their antivirus! They didn't care about my issue! I asked them if I could delete the app and reinstall it but for them to send me a link so that I didn't have to pay for it again! They ignored this suggestion. I have all the emails saved so I can prove everything, including phone calls they recorded (the last one was made on Sunday December 6, 2020!
User's recommendation: Don't buy this.

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with full refund. Issue was resoled with total bank refund, no questions asked..
Original review posted by user Dec 05, 2020
I was viewing this product on line and was testing it to search my own name. When the search was complete Was when I was first directed to give my credit card info. At this point I decided not to purchase so I x'ed out of the link. an hour or so later I noticed a new charge of $99 on my bank statement. Although did not give them my credit card info or sign up for their service they somehow were able to charge my account. Their web page is titled "truthfinders" and the bank statement charge is shows it from TOTALAV.COM . WHAT A RIPOFF! User's recommendation: Stay away!!!

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 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.
