Total AV is a leading antivirus software. In a single day, 560,000 new pieces of malware are detected. That's a lot of malware and viruses. Now, imagine all of the people who had their identities stolen, files deleted or are being spied on because of these viruses and malware.

And just imagine how much malware is running on a personal computer, Mac or smartphone if you don’t have antivirus software running in real-time. Before we begin, I just wanted to let you know that I have left a special link below so you can download Total AV totally free.

Total AV offers both a free app and a pro app that can help you protect against all known and future threats.

Plus, you receive a lightweight VPN with 70 servers to connect to as you try and further your security.

Of course, the free version of this antivirus software doesn’t provide you with the same great features that the pro version does. But you still receive a lot of sweet protection.

The free app is a bit disappointing. When you look at the description and promotional material for the free version, it seems like it acts as real-time antivirus software. Unfortunately, you do not have real-time scanning.

Instead, you can run manual scans and take action against any threats that are found.
The free version of Total AV does allow you to quarantine any of the files it detects as a threat. So, if you don’t mind running a manual scan, the free version is nice.

But with the paid version, it’s a supercharged antivirus that competes with some of the other big names in antivirus protection, including F-Secure Safe, Bitdefender and others.

In terms of scanning and identifying malware and viruses, Total AV Pro and the free version run on the same software. You'll find the same threats with both versions, but the Pro version offers real-time protection, which is priceless.

The real-time protection provides you with effortless security 24/7.

However, you get a lot more with Pro than just real-time protection.

First, you can install the software on up to three devices on one license. I have mine installed on my Windows PC, Android tablet and iOS. You can also install the software on a Mac if you want.

Malware is detected and cleaned once it is downloaded, so you never have to worry about executing a threatening file.

Total AV has some serious protection, too. When running, there is zero-day cloud scanning, PUA protection, phishing scan protection and even features to prevent ransomware. If you know anything about ransomware, you know that it’s a very serious threat to your online security.

Even local governments have fallen victim to ransomware, and they have paid millions of dollars to fix the problem.

Total AV prevents ransomware from being executed, so you can be confident that you won’t become a victim.

And if you’re into cybersecurity like we are, you know that you need far more than a simple antivirus to keep your data safe and secure.

Total AV boosts your security with system tune-up tools that help you do a few things. First, these tools allow you to uninstall any unused applications you have downloaded in the past. I know I removed at least a dozen programs using this tool, freeing up space on my PC and removing junk in the process.

There’s also a helpful duplicate file finder and junk removal tool.

Total AV includes a browser clean-up function that gives you the ability to manage and delete cookies and your browsing history. Overall, these tools help your PC or Mac run better, free up space and keep your activity 100% private.

Speaking of privacy, Total AV also includes a VPN. Since we’re all about VPNs on this channel, it was one of the main reasons we tried Total AV in the first place. Now, the VPN has 70 servers in 30 countries, so it’s not like ExpressVPN or Surfshark, which have thousands of servers.

But the VPN will encrypt your data and keep your online activities 100% private.

For people who want to keep their devices free from viruses, malware and ransomware, PLUS keep their browsing activities 100% private, it doesn’t get much better than Total AV. It's the perfect all-in-one solution for the average user who wants to maximize their protection online without juggling two, three or even four different software applications.
