Fred_tex Posted November 19, 2017 ID:1184259 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Malwarebytes quarantined my TotalAV antivirus software. I've read pros and cons about it. Could it be considered malware? Or just nagware? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alvarnell Posted November 19, 2017 ID:1184263 Share Posted November 19, 2017 The only positive reviews that I can find appear to have been written by the developer or one of their affiliates who get paid to sell their products. Other reviews on the PC and Android versions say it's a scam, so I assume the same holds for the macOS and iOS versions. At a minimum, I would consider it to be a Potentially Unwanted Product (PUP). One huge clue is that there is no trial version or period so that I can evaluate it before handing over cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff treed Posted November 19, 2017 Staff ID:1184328 Share Posted November 19, 2017 TotalAV is from a known maker of junk software, and is not effective. The developer also creates programs like ZipCloud and JustCloud, which were, for a long time, found in around half of all fake Adobe Flash Player installers. Since the developer is known to engage in this kind of fraudulent marketing, you should not trust any of their stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
