Download Autoruns:

Autoruns for Windows - Windows Sysinternals

• Extract the files to their own folder. Right click on Autoruns.exe and Run as administrator.
• When it finishes processing, go to menu item Options and select Hide Microsoft Entries.
• Select the Explorer tab and you should see context menu handlers for TotalAV.
• Right click TotalAV entries and Delete.

You may need to restart (not shutdown) for the changes to take effect.

Getting rid of TotalAV

I had Dell email me that it needed to upgrade the computer, and among those items was TotalAV antivirus AND Microsoft updates. Now I see that TotalAV is not a good product and actually causes false alerts to get payment, etc. I can't find any file on my
computer called "TotalAV." Do you know what name it goes by? Geek couldn't find it, and neither did a regular search.

What can I do to get rid of it? It also attached itself to my online search engine to try to "thwart" viruses. This is maddening if I don't even know what's being loaded on my computer.

Thanks,

Kathy
