Best for antivirus with a VPN and ad blocker on one bill
TotalAV puts antivirus, cleanup tools, a VPN and an ad blocker on one bill, across Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone. It's dear, though: five devices means Internet Security at $129 a year, $258 over two years. And there's no free plan or trial to try it first.
Who TotalAV is for
- Great if you want antivirus, a VPN and an ad blocker on one bill
- Handy when your PC is cluttered and you want cleanup tools thrown in
- Good for households of up to 8 devices on Total Security
Who TotalAV is not for
- Pricey if you have five devices, at $258 over two years for Internet Security
- Not for you if you want to try it first, as there's no free plan or trial
- Skip it if you want identity protection included, as it's a $99 a year add-on
Why TotalAV gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for moneyFive devices means Internet Security, $129 a year for up to 6, so two years cost $258, about $10.75 a month. That's in the dearest tenth of antivirus. Plus covers 4 for $99 a year, and identity protection is a $99 add-on on top.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan, and the pricing page lists no free trial. A refund within 30 days on a yearly plan doesn't count as one.
- BFeaturesReal-time antivirus, phishing and ransomware protection and cleanup tools on every plan, then Total VPN and Total Adblock, and a password manager on Total Security. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the core protection.
- BEase of use4.58 from about 72,000 App Store ratings, well liked but under the 4.7 an A needs.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWindows, Mac, Android, iPhone and a password vault extension for Chrome and Firefox. No web app, API or integration list on record, so it stops at B.

Keep TotalAV, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace TotalAV you would be making an engine that recognises new malware as it appears. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 13 of the 14 other antivirus apps grade higher. It costs $99 a year.
What you could make
- Ad and tracker blocking: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An engine that recognises new malware as it appears.
- Servers in dozens of countries, kept fast and private.
- A password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves.
- Deleting system files without breaking anything.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. TotalAV’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
