And even after you sign up, you're protected by a 30-day money-back guarantee. The website offered us one month of use for £1, though, with no requirement to continue, which seems more than fair. Total AV used to offer a 7-day free trial, but that seems to have been dropped. We've summarized what's on offer, but if you're looking for the full picture, it's all on the official Pricing Matrix page (opens in new tab). If you're not ready to hand over any cash, Total AV Free Edition (opens in new tab) has on-demand scanning only (no real-time protection) and basic web filtering for the cost of precisely nothing at all.

Bitdefender's excellent Premium Security includes a full VPN and is almost identically priced ($60 year one, $150 afterwards), or you can cover 25 devices with Avira Prime for only $130. But the price jumps again to $59 in year one, and a chunky $150 on the first renewal, $170 afterwards. Total AV Total Security (opens in new tab) lifts support to six devices, and throws in an ad blocker and a password manager. If you're looking for an antivirus and VPN from the same provider, Avira Prime has many more features, and is $99 a year (even covering 25 devices only costs $130.) Seems expensive for a suite which doesn't even include a firewall. Total AV Internet Security (opens in new tab) adds a Windscribe-powered VPN (opens in new tab) and looks good value at $39 in year one, but that jumps to $119 on the first renewal, $139 afterward. Bitdefender Antivirus Plus doesn't have the same PC maintenance features, but it's a capable antivirus app, and is $30 in year one, only $60 on renewal. Total AV Antivirus Pro (opens in new tab) looks cheap at only $29 in year one, but this jumps to $99 on the first renewal.

For example, Android users get the ability to password-protect apps, preventing others from accessing their most confidential data.

As usual, the desktop editions have the most features, but other platforms have additional touches of their own. Protection is available for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android. Total AV Antivirus Pro has Avira-based on-demand and real-time detection, anti-phishing, and a range of system optimization tools: cleaning up browser traces, duplicate and junk files, managing startup programs, optimizing boot times and more.
