TotalAV Review – Mac

How TotalAV meets the 5 criteria?

1. Threat Protection

Malware Protection
The system is designed to detect malicious software like viruses, adware or spyware on Mac computers or MacBook laptops, and remove it.

Spyware Protection
Spyware can secretly monitor your actions on your device, capture passwords, banking credentials, and credit card details. TotalAV is capable of recognizing such programs, block and remove them.

Web Protection
The system is scanning along as you’re surfing the Internet, detecting which websites are safe to visit & blocking the possibly dangerous websites and downloads.

Phishing Websites Protection
TotalAV is capable of recognizing and blocking fake & “spoof” websites, specifically created to steal your personal data, for example by sending you a fake email or message with a link.

Adware Protection
Adware is less dangerous, but it is still nothing else than malicious software that uses your computer resources to automatically display or download advertising materials such as banners or pop-ups. This both slows down your device and usually hinders your surfing experience. TotalAV is capable of blocking and removing such programs as well.

2. Resource Consumption

Yes, like any other antivirus software, TotalAV will also consume some of your system resources and can possibly slow it down a little… But, the software contains a system boost and disc cleaner as a part of the package. What does it actually mean?

Over time even the highest spec Mac device will naturally slow down anyway. Cache and cookies, startup applications, duplicates, old, damaged & junk-files, not completely deleted programs — all that could and will significantly slow down your OS system.

Mac Cleaner Tools of TotalAV identify the system errors and programs impacting your device’s performance; optimize, clean and delete the junk. As a result, you won’t recognize the slow down from the software. Quite the opposite, there’s a big chance you will even feel the upgrade as a result of its activity.

 

3. 24/7 Real-time Scanning

TotalAV antivirus software is constantly running in the background and monitoring your Mac OS system, as long as the device is on, detecting & blocking the malware before it gets on your hard-drive. In addition to that, it offers a scheduled scan option where you can set up a weekly, fortnightly or monthly extensive full scans.

4. Extra Protection Features
