Hello

Hello! I do not want to renew my subscription. Unfortunately, I can't find anywhere to cancel it.
If you have a form or something similar, please send me an email with an editable version of it.

A scam renewal process

I took up a subscription over a year ago for about £25 p.a. A while ago I noticed that a payment of about £129 had been taken from my account. It was for a renewed subscription to this company. I had no pre-warning that this was happening and would not have agreed to it. I sent an email to Total AV objecting about the charge. They did not have the courtesy of replying to me. A most unethical company. I have now unsubscribed and will return to Norton or McAfee next year! If you foolishly accept Total AV make sure you cancel automatic subscription.

Hello Bernard,

We appreciate you taking the time to share your review with us. Your feedback is valuable, and we thank you for providing this information.

It's worth explaining that introductory rates move to the plan's standard rate at the first renewal, which this guide explains: https://help.totalav.com/billing/-/promotional-pricing-explained. Renewal reminders are sent up to 30 days ahead, and this guide may help if one did not reach you: https://help.totalav.com/billing/-/wheres-my-renewal-email

As your email was sent a while ago, please use our contact form at https://help.totalav.com/trustpilot and paste your review in so we can match it to your account and track your request. A member of our support team will pick it up.

Kind regards,
TotalAV Customer Care Team

I am so irritated by this company

I am so irritated by this company; keep getting emails that take you directly to their site and doesn't have an unsubscribe feature. No idea why they started emailing me. Had to do some serious research to find how to unsubscribe. Not even sure if it will work, would love to have given them a negative 50.

Hello Maritza,

We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we thank you for sharing it.

To clarify, alerts that open our website are usually browser push notifications rather than emails. A website may choose to advertise our service in this way once permission has been granted through an “Allow” prompt, and the browser keeps sending them after you leave the site. Removing that permission stops them, and this guide has steps for each device: https://help.totalav.com/tech/av/av-malware/-/av-m-popups

Kind regards,

I gave you one star because I could not give you a 0 star.This is the worst service I've ever seen.First , you try to charge me 1.99 3 times then when I go to cancel you , charge me 23.99, somebody's asleep at the wheel, wake up, find out what's going on, either you or somebody's ripping people off.

Hello Herbert,

We appreciate you taking the time to share your review with us. Your feedback is valuable, and we thank you for providing this information.

To clarify, repeated attempts close together are a single payment being retried automatically after a decline, not separate charges. Cancelling is always free and never takes a payment, so any charge reflects a subscription that was active on the account. This guide helps identify a charge: https://help.totalav.com/billing/-/identify-a-charge-on-your-account

For us to look into your account, please use our contact form at https://help.totalav.com/trustpilot and paste your review in so we can match it to your account. A member of our support team will pick it up.

Kind regards,
