    TOTAL AV was approved by Microsoft to be used on windows 10. I checked reviews online and Total AV has some big complaints. Should I unistall them. it and keep Mc Afee only? Are they as bad as everyone caims? Thank you

    TOTAL AV

    First, I know nothing about Total AV, and can't comment on how good it is.

    But most important, you should *never* have more than one one anti-virus running at once. They can conflict with each other and cause problems. They can also slow down your computer.

    One remaining point: As far as I'm concerned, McAfee is a poor choice of anti-virus programs these days. You would be better off dumping both it and Total AV, and using the built-in Windows Defender.

    Windows 10 and Total AV

    Hi Simon

    There is no official statement from Microsoft with even a hint of teaming up with Total AV, in fact that is most likely just Internet rumour and innuendo. Defender is right up there with the best paid-for security solutions and does not slow your system down,
    so there would be no logical reason for a merger with Total AV

    With regards to the Lock Screen, Collect your preferred photos into a folder and if necessary google 'Bing Lock screen photos to find your favorite Bing photos

    Then once you have those in a folder, open the Settings App (gear icon on your Start Menu), go to Personalization - Lock Screen. Set background to Slideshow and then click Browse to find that folder of photos

    That's It!
