★★★★ Simone Bouffard 5/6/2026 v3.1.1
I would like to cancel my subscription. I'm not satisfied with the service. Thank you
★★★★ Virginia Ellis 5/6/2026 v3.1.0
I subscribed to the app for protection on my phone and laptop for 1 month (trial period) and I cancelled the subscription before the date of renewal and every month I get charged for the service, I've taken my cards off the account, I've deleted my information, I've even deactivated my account and I still get charged by the company. I had to go through a stop payment and change my card number just to stop the automatic payments I didn't authorize... quite upset and quite frankly annoyed by it
★★★★ William Davila 5/5/2026 v3.1.1

★★★★ Matthew Coyle 5/5/2026
This Advert is totally misleading and i want my money back immediately. After being misled in believing i would only be charged £ 2.00 if i opted for this App by Wednesday that is all i would pay.!

★★★★ Wanda York 4/28/2026
I'm not in the best of health, Please help me uninstall this Total AV app. I'm not real computer savvy. I'm on a fixed income. I can't afford $14.99 a month. I have tried to cancel it, I definitely do not need it. I see how easy it is to take advantage of older people. Thank You

★★★★ Dean 4/25/2026 v3.1.1
They will not accept my email even though I have changed it in their site several times and been approved!!!! Over a month since I changed my password, Still say invalid. They have charged my bank account 7 times and done NOTHING. Do not answer calls. Useless. Will be filing a complaint with my bank for fraud. Phone is ALWAYS busy so can't talk to them. Will be filing a complaint with bank for fraud. DO NOT TRUST THEM!!!!! Still no correction! No credit. They don't answer phone! Useless!!!!!

★★★★ Shane “DUCK” Mcquade 4/25/2026 v3.1.1
This app just blocked me from all my apps also it's own app, says it have 87 viruses 10 seconds after saying i have 5. also to download their app which i already have. my phone now has apps I've never seen, some are missing and the app icons are a different shape and colour. my home pages have all changed not in alphabetical order any more. keeps telling me to down load more of their apps. Money hungry cockroach's they dont have your best interests in mind, all they see is $$$$$. signs. SCUM

★★★★★ Jay Vogelaar 5/7/2026
I don't know what is going on. Too many come-ons versus what I think I ordered. Am I being played? Of course.vThe more money is the game. I may just have to dump everything before my Social Security gets raided.

★★★★★ Steve Turner 5/2/2026 v3.1.1
I have a current subscription but it telling me I dont.
★★★★★ William Higgins 4/30/2026
Why is it so hard for you people to get to the point and say how much you want for your service? I have no intention of signing up for anything until I know how much it will cost me! I don't think that's unreasonable.
★★★★★ Frank Hill 4/28/2026 v3.1.1

★★★★★ TAMMY LASSETER 4/24/2026 v3.1.1
