TotalAV Antivirus review
A broad security suite with four-platform coverage, but annual pricing starts at $99.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
TotalAV Antivirus provides security software for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices. It is suited to individuals or households that want antivirus protection alongside maintenance and privacy tools. Core capabilities include real-time scanning for downloads, installations, and executables; malware scanning and remediation; cloud scanning for unknown threats; phishing and malicious-website protection; ransomware defense; scheduled smart scans; browser cleanup; and system tune-up and disk-cleaning tools.
Pricing is organized around three annual plans. TotalAV Plus costs $99 per year and protects four devices with real-time antivirus protection, zero-day cloud scanning, phishing scam protection, and ransomware protection. Internet Security costs $129 per year and covers six devices, adding online protection and VPN privacy. Total Security costs $149 per year and covers eight devices, with complete online protection, Total Password, and the features available through the broader plan structure. Higher tiers also provide VPN and ad-blocking tools, while data-breach monitoring is part of the wider feature set. Pricing and plan availability may vary by region.
The main appeal is breadth: one product spans desktop and mobile platforms while combining threat defense with cleanup, optimization, privacy, breach monitoring, and password features. That makes TotalAV a practical fit for users managing several devices and wanting more than malware scanning. Buyers focused on the lowest annual cost should compare the $99 entry plan carefully, since VPN privacy, ad blocking, and protection for more than four devices require higher tiers. Users who need only basic antivirus protection may not need the broader toolset, while households with up to eight supported devices may find the tier structure easier to justify.
