Most features on the Internet Security menu, along with Password Vault and Family Sharing, require purchase of the commercial TotalAV Antivirus Pro. Hovering over an icon reveals the corresponding six protection categories: Malware Protection, Internet Security, System Tune Up, Password Vault, Family Sharing Accounts, and Settings. The product's dark gray main window features a left-rail menu with six icons.

Given the absence of real-time protection, I wish it offered a daily scan option. You can opt instead for a fortnightly or monthly scan. It also schedules a weekly scan, during a non-busy time that you specify, though it doesn't give you control over the day of the week for the scan. TotalAV runs a required Smart Scan after installation, an important step given that it doesn't offer any real-time protection.

When you install the product, it requests that you activate your free account, a simple matter of supplying your name and email address. In a rare departure from the expected, even essential real-time antivirus protection is locked behind a paywall. TotalAV Free Edition makes all the paid features visible, but clicking on many of them just gets you an invitation to upgrade. A CISO who uses a free antivirus at home just might lean toward that company when it comes to equipping a whole enterprise with endpoint protection. Many antivirus companies put full-scale protection into their free antivirus offerings, figuring they’ll benefit in goodwill and mindshare rather than in cash.
