Total AV has been doing a full system scan for over 2 days. I do have an external Hard Drive connected but it has been there for other scans that always finished in a few hours. The circle showing progress got very close to being finished but just keeps spinning. But it shows 0 for number of files and folders scanned. I don't know how to stop it.

Computer freezes and does not respond to reboot. States in safe mode that the Total AV is corrupted and is not able to clean up malware or restore to original setup dates on system restore.

Every time I turn on my computer I get message on Mac (iOS Ventura 13.4) that TotalAV is trying to install a new helper tool. Password for computer is required. I enter the password and it still shows up every time I turn on my computer. I tried to uncheck the advanced adblocker in Safari and now (even after re-checking it) I get "Initialization error, could not start Real-Time Protection. Please try again. Error: The operation couldn't be completed. (AVClientLib.ServiceClient.AVServiceClientConnectError error0.)" Please help.

Hi, I have been using Total Av/Adblock for some time now. Great product. However for the past few days I am getting a lot of ads on Youtube. I have looked at the suggestion, but most of the suggestions seem to have Total AV features and "buttons" that don't seem to be on my computer. Can you help me please? Regards Gary

I tried to install TotalAV through the App Store on my Android tablet. Samsung S3. It installed fine, but failed scanning when it tried to update. The update failed. I tried uninstall reinstall. I tried clearing cache and data in the Play store and TotalAV app. Nothing has worked. I am a TotalAV customer with no problems on my apple devices, but this android device is having trouble.

I am having same issue as reported on Dec 22 by another customer: "Total AV keeps quitting and giving me the following message. 'An Error Occured Whilst Trying To Enable The realtime Scanner. One Or More Errors Occurred (Connect Timed Out). Please Reboot Your Device And Try Again'. I tried rebooting and nothing has changed. I am running Windows 10 and can never tell if TotalAV is even providing protection." Please let me know what I should do to fix this problem.

By Sobhon R Kanithasevi 1 year ago
Since I had paid and installed TotalAV on my Windows10, I had so many problems: Startup windows was so slow and many times failed; Protection disabled. An error occured while trying to enable the realtime scanner. One or more errors occured; System freezed ; Failed to update extensions selection. One or more errors occured; Connect time out. After I uninstalled TotalAV everything seem to run normally again. Sorry, I have to say that I am very very sick of this program.

Since I installed TotalAV a couple of days ago, I have had so many problems on my Mac desktop. Web pages begin scrolling once opened (on their own), another virus program alerted to a Trojan AFTER TotalAV indicated there were not any! While on a website, a new tab quickly opens that was not selected. Please help!!

I purchased Total AV - Antivirus PRO and Total AV - Unlimited Devices, the other day. I downloaded software to my laptop and to my Android cell phone. The laptop installation seems to work ok but when I try to activate the software on my cell phone, it comes with a message saying "THIS DEVICE IS NOT LICENSED - You have used all your device licences, upgrade and add a license now to protect this device." Yet I bought the UNLIMITED devices pkg. I then uninstalled the software and tried to re-install it and now it shows in "My account" that I've used all my allowable downloads. So much for the word "Unlimited devices". Anyone have a solution? Hugh

Total AV keeps quitting and giving me the following message. "An Error Occured Whilst Trying To Enable The realtime Scanner" "One Or More Errors Occured" (Connect Timed Out) "Please Reboot Your Device And Try Again" I tried rebooting and nothing has changed. I am running Windows 10 and can never tell if TotalAV is even providing protection. I am very dissapointed because I took Kaspersky off early due to the Ukraine situation and the untrust in the Russian element. I am seriously considering getting rid of TotalAV and will if you cannot provide a permanent fix to this annoyance.

I cancelled my Avira account because VPN never worked unless I ran install then clicked repair. Then that method wouldnt work. So I buy TOTALAV w/VPN for multiple devices. Installed on all my P.C.'s but this one and cant connect to internet on ANY of them. Also discovered TOTALAV uses the AVIRA VPN software that gave me trouble to start with. UnInstalling TotalAV and rebooting does NOT restore my PC's configurations or make online connections work as they did before. I am so not happy with all this crap. Fortunately, I ran out of time before getting TotalAV installed on this pc or I'd have no connections at all. Seems all the free stuff works fine with this kinda thing but you commit to pay service and it turns to sh_t. My opinion.

VPN keeps quitting. I have to manually turn it on, but it quits after about an hour. I've tried all the states on the east coast, even tried Canada and Britain, but it keeps doing the same thing. I'm getting no where with anyone by email. I wish I knew how bad the issues were before I paid for this! It's a rip off in my view! 😠

TOTALAV VPN not safe to use. TOTALAV provide security software phone and computers on a subscription (paid for) basis, and a basic offering for free. I bought the subscription service because I wanted a VPN (Virtual private network) to keep my computer safe. Whilst using the VPN I had some problems and the support team used a remote log on to my computer to try to fix it, however they screwed it up and left me unable to get ANY internet connection to anything. They refused to believe that it could be their fault and REFUSED to talk with me about the problem. I had to try to resolve it by and chat sessions using a different computer. Even then they told me that they needed to remote connect to my computer, which of course was impossible. They said this 3 times before telling me to get a local IT expert to "fix it", which I did. IT cost me £130 for the fix, and the expert gave me written evidence that TOTALAV WAS to blame. Needless to say, TOTALAV have ignored all my complaints, and just reply with messages from either total idiots or uncaring staff. Do NOT use this software. The customer relations team are just ROBOTS.

- Trials just tell you whats supposedly there but you cant delete or remove anything at all
- Prompts you to purchase 3 more upgrades to what they just claimed was fantastic and thorough security
- Over reports it’s effectiveness using data and graphs
- Services offered are not very well-maintained or produce a very good outcome
- VPNs often not engaged
- Ad blocker doesn’t block many ads
- Contacting tech-support is near impossible
