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

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.

Total Av - Dishonesty

I paid for the program only to be scammed. Seems you have a hacker screwing around with your customers and I demand my money back!! I don't trust this program for anyone wanting to buy it. Oren Oliver oliverlll@bellsouth.net

Total Av - Inquiry resulted in constant unwanted pop-up ads

1.0
Details
Considered signing up for the service, but ultimately hit decline when prompted as to whether I wanted to purchase. Since then, I've been bombarded with pop up ads asking me to "upgrade." Contacting the company has been no help and they will not respond. They are doing the exact thing that they are supposed to protect against. Have been unsuccessful in trying to block the pop-ups. Later received automated e-mail response from Total AV promising contact by service rep. Did not happen.

I have installed others in the past and it has been fast an easy. I have had trouble in installing it along with ad pro. The computer geek from total av took over my computer and it worked ok and then it was gone again. NEVER will I ever be a fool to buy this again.

User's recommendation: DON"T BUY THIS!!!!!

Total Av - TotalAV has failed twice

3.5
Details
The software has failed twice and when I put in a support request, I found that there is no provision for attaching a copy of the error messages, so had to type them in manually. Do not yet know if they can resolve the problem, so am waiting. Will evaluate support request results later.

User's recommendation: Wait a bit to see how they resolve this problem - but in the meantime my PC is unprotected.

Let the company propose a solution

Total Av - I think its called "auto renew". Even when you go to their website you cannot turn off auto renew. They are scammers

Details
Tried to turn off auto renew feature several times. Still renews. Once they have your credit card info you cannot stop them.

User's recommendation: Dont buy this crap. Dont give them your credit card info. When you download the so called free trial app all the problems on your computer are pointed out but they cannot be fixed with the free trial version.

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)

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.

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.
