    TOTAL AV

    I installed TOTAL AV on my windows ten. I already had and still have McAfee anti virus/.firewall installed. I have had nothing but trouble since installing TOTAL AV.. But TOTAL AV told me that McAfee is not capable to handle windows 10 and that only
    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 Community,

    I just want to ask a couple of quick Questions here and thought the Community hub would be the best place.

    I read on a website that Windows 10 we're teaming up with Total AV for added security Boost.

    Is this correct ? or just some misinformation.

    I wondered if any other users had Total AV installed as well as Defender and the interaction worked ?

    I personally only use Defender as other 3rd party anti-virus interfere with my Audio Programs.

    So it would be good to hear from anyone on this.

    My second Question is - Is it at all possible for you choose from a list of Images for your Lock Screen ? say from Bing or Win 10.

    I like certain Landscape Lock Screen images which I would like to save and say create a Slideshow of my own. At the moment like everyone else it is just on random and would like to choose my own Landscape images from the ones that either Win 10 of Bing send
    to your computer.

    Anyway thanks for your time in reading this.

    Take care everyone

    Simon.
