It’s based on Avira and recent versions include cloud as well.
However, you can get the same technology with Avira for free.
Stay away of this software for now, as they practice very dodgy advertisement schemes, spam you, (I will include screenshots from my emails from yesterday) and can’t justify their price. You can definitely do better than that.
Their last blog post is from 2019, which shows how much they are interested in cyber-security.
The uninstaller is very badly designed and leaves “Scan with TotalAV” in explorer contextual menu after uninstall.

Even if it was trustworthy, which I'm not sure about, its still not worth using as there are defenitely better options out there.
One can save their money and install free Kaspersky/Avast. They will definitely do better job.
I have been receiving very interesting emails for quite some time. I do not normally click on links in SPAM emails and I highly recommend users not to do it too. However today, out of curiosity, I have decided to check that out.
This is an email seemingly from "Mcafee" (incorrectly formatted) that also includes references to Norton.
Upon clicking on the link, I am taken to this webpage:
Similar emails, also pointing to TotalAV:
Once again, I would like to remind users not to click on any links in messages flagged SPAM. Specially when the formatting of the email doesn't look like what the official brand will send you.

They send other spam as well, such as credit cards, mortgages, etc. Upon hovering in all these emails, the link is always qlnpeace[.]com/*I've gotten all 3 of these in the past 5 days. Always the same 3. Over and over and over and over......

i guess they saw that norton keeps buying security companies, and they thought "hey, what the heck?! we can do that too. we`ll buy norton and mcafee"!
Or maybe they are looking to get acquired too, as a highly valued player in the security fieldi guess they saw that norton keeps buying security companies, and they thought "hey, what the heck?! we can do that too. we`ll buy norton and mcafee"!
I purchased the TotalAV program @ £29.00 but could only pay through PayPal. When I was in my PayPal account to confirm the payment an advert came up for only £36 extra to cover up to 3 computers, notepads, etc. But there was no option to cancel so I did not confirm payment and went back using the back key then proceeded to go back into PayPal to confirm payment for the £36 deal. Again I get bombarded with numerous other extra TotalAV packages plus payment is for 12 months only and thereafter a further annual charge of £108.00 will be debited on this card. When I saw this I thought this is a scam and exited PayPal as before.
After checking my bank account I found both payments had been paid to PayPal even though I tried to stop them whilst pending.
I have been locked out of my PayPal account to get in touch with PayPal, even though I can make purchases using my password and cannot get through to make a complaint by email (can't log in) or by a UK landline. The same applies to TotalAV also with numerous emails canceling the order al I get is welcome to TotalAV
I've also found TotalAV is a front company for a company called Protected Net Group Ltd.
My only conclusion is this is just a huge scam so BUYERS BEWARE.
