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

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...

Wish I saw this before I purchased Total AV. At first it seemed like a decent product but then it took hold of my computer and caused interruptions to all my programs/processes.

It slowed my computer down to a point where I had to disable it in order to get any work done. I finally called customer service to cancel the product. I already paid for a year of service but had no desire to use it ever again. The CS rep was a nightmare to deal with.

His English was marginal at best and after about 30 minutes of telling him NO to other products, etc. He kept trying to bully me into keeping the service. I finally told him absolutely not, cancel my account now. He assured me he would turn off the auto-renewal (as it states on their website) and send me a confirmation.

I never received a confirmation from them. Here we are about 6 months later, I check the account and sure enough, it is set up for another auto-renewal. I went through the process of cancellation again, this time through email so I had a record of everything to show to my credit card company. This time I did get a cancellation confirmation after being forced to go through numerous pages of ads and pleas to keep the account.

TERRIBLE company. Don't get yourself roped in.

Cancel subscription.

Called to cancel subscription, offered reduction in price then spent next three minutes listening to double talk. Stated loudly to cancel immediately and 100% refund my call was dropped. Received email saying sorry you couldnt contact us. Contacting my bank.

User's recommendation: Do research, I don’t recommend TotalAv.

Fraud

Update by user Apr 08, 2021

It just keeps getting worse. I had to cancel my debit card.

I had to change my passwords for my email. I believe this company is located in India. Early this morning I received an email with a one time pass code to change my email password. This came from India.

This was not from me changing my password. I was able to get my bank to reverse the charges. As I said before I never signed up for the service.

I then went and froze all my credit reporting services. His company is the nightmare from ***

These people are *** I found bank charges from them. I did not sign up for their crap. They keep asking me for my email address and when I give it to them they tell me that this isnt the address that I signed up with. I asked them what dont you understand about I did not sign up with your service? And the asked me for my email again.

User's recommendation: Don’t do it. Their accounting department claims that they can’t find the charges. If they can’t find them charging your account how could they ever find a virus.

Total Av - Different charges added, taken and supposedly sorted out in my account
I spent nearly 8 hours yesterday trying to make a payment with the 80% discount offered This proved impossible but around tea time last night I was told that the amount to be charged for the next year would be £13.20 Hooray Not quite At about 22.30pm last TOTAL AV took a further £9.95 from my bank account without my knowing, or my authorization I have spent a further hour this morning trying to get the £9.95 paid back but to no avail I requested them to call me back from a senior advisor which I am now waiting for

User's recommendation: If you require your sanity think twice about getting involved with these charlatans.

They are the worst to deal with ever. I have called and spoken to the same person all 3 times and the last time she tried to say they had a duplicate account that was made. This is a total scam. I would never recommend this company.

Bad Experience

1.0
Bought and downloaded Total AV a week ago. VPN not working and when tried to use it a 3rd party vendor wants to me to install their Drivers. VPN installed totally different on a 2nd Laptop. Tech support is non-existent. Virus Protection not scanning documents or files I download. Tried for days to Cancel can't get in touch with anyone. Had MacAfee for years until I had problems with their service they couldn't fix. But at least I had sessions with tech support over chat and phone and got a quick refund when we couldn't resolve the problem.

User's recommendation: Stay away From Total AV they're Total BS.

Unhappy consumer

1.3
In 2018, I purchased a 1-year trial membership. I canceled, and they hit my account for 100.00 anyway. When I called them I was told the best they could do was extend my trial and refund 80.00 At the end of the year I canceled again, this time I wasn't charged. One year latter they charged my account again. When I called them they said they would return the 119.00. I was charged fees by my bank due to the way total av processed this unauthorized transaction which total av won't reimburse. Total av processes their subscriptions in a way that can't be blocked by the bank.

User's recommendation: Don't give them any banking information, EVER.
