TotalAV review

TotalAV sells three tiers. Antivirus Plus gives real-time scanning of downloads, installs and executables, zero-day cloud scanning, PUA, phishing and ransomware protection, plus system tune-up tools: a disk cleaner, a browser cleaner and an app uninstaller. Internet Security adds Total VPN with AES-256 encryption, and Total Security adds Total Password, an AES-256 password manager. The pricing page lists 4, 6 or 8 devices, and apps exist for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android. The cleanup tools are the main difference from Microsoft Defender, which has none. When we checked, the pricing page served euro prices to our location, so the USD price is pending; read the subscription and renewal terms on the U.S. checkout before you pay.
