Windows 10: Total AV wrecks my Microsoft Word

I tried a free Total AV a few months ago after I got hacked while in Microsoft Safe Mode. But Total AV freezes my Microsoft Word whenever I start writing my novels. I uninstalled Total AV from my Control Panel but it sneaks back in like cancer. When I do the Task Manager, I have to delete it. Then I try to write again, and it comes back freezing my Word documents. How can I get rid of it for good?

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

microsoft word 2003

I have a lot of ms word files on my pc. But one of them showed me an error - Getting unknown error messages while opening (.doc) or (.docx) files. I don't know how to open my word file or repair microsoft word. Any suggestions, guys, please.

 

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.
