TotalAV Antivirus Pro offers features such as backup, tuneup, ad blocking, and more, on top of scouring PCs for existing malware infestations and preventing future attacks. In tests, TotalAV performed well in areas of performance, security, and privacy, but Bitdefender Antivirus Plus and McAfee AntiVirus Plus still outperformed TotalAV. Despite its improvements, TotalAV’s cost is also relatively high compared to its competitors like Norton, Malwarebytes, and ESET.
