I'm just wondering if anyone has used Total Defense Anti-Virus, Internet Security recently and what do you think of them? https://www.totaldefense.com/ https://www.totaldefense.com/download-2
I last tested it a few months ago. It had very high CPU use in my case. It also was a bit buggy. When you run a scan, it runs silently in the background, and there is no scan progress shown. There are much better alternatives in my opinion.
I read they also now use Bitdefender's engine. I wonder what happened to CA's engine. They should've kept both.
I did used it for a bit. They don't have any web protection, unless you install their toolbar, which is not available Edge or Chrome.
Well it is actually available for Chrome. However, when I tried to use it, Chrome wouldn't let me enable it. Firefox as well. I contacted them, but there was nothing they could do besides suggest me to use their Traffic Light add-on for Firefox.
I was wrong about their web blocking. They do have it without the toolbar. Their web blocking is only available in the internet security versions.
I recently got a macOS device and decided to give Total Defense a try, since I have a three year license. The Mac version is also a full rebrand of Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac, judging by the identical UI of both products. However, once installed, every time I booted into the OS, Total Defense kept telling me that my license was expired despite having over one year left. I tried reinstalling the product several times, but the result was the same. Can't be bothered to find out why this keeps happening.
Now if you enter this code "SAVE10"after you click buy when you go to the above website you get a $60.00 discount.... That's 1 yr for 10 devices, for the Ultimate Version of Total Defender. I tried the trial, very fast on my PC, apps open very quick, and web pages load very fast....When I tried the version before this one, maybe a year ago, it was slow on my PC. This version very fast.
Here is the TRIAL Version, I entered the serial code, and it became registered version.... Just press the update button 2 times and it becomes latest version. https://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Security-Related/CA-Internet-Security-Suite-Plus.shtml
Thanks for that. I saw that the trial version was two years old and had not installed it, as I didn't know it would update to the new version.
HOLD UP... Total Defense Premium Internet Security for 10 PC's for just 29.00.... 50% Off Here: https://www.totaldefense.com/landing-google-ta...Then make sure you use this code for an additional 10% off "SAVE10" IF speed is your thing, like it is mine. Make sure you get the "Total Defense Premium Internet Security" NOT the Ultimate. Premium was faster on my PC.
The ultimate version has some added mods that aren't really needed in my opinion. Premium is blazing fast on my PC.....
I just installed the anti-virus it on one of my computers. On my Windows 10 install, for some reason is fails to start scans, so I installed it on Windows 8.1. I ran a Quick Scan, which completed quickly and CPU remained fairly low. However, I'm running a Full Scan now and CPU use is constantly at between 95 and 99 percent, which is way too much.
