    I felt that the representative was very patient, helpful and very knowledgeable. He made the phone call a very user friendly experience. Although the subscription renewal format had changed he was able to walk me through it and made it a lot easier for me to renew my subscription. I am not very computer savvy so this was very helpful.

    I called Total Defense to check on my rebate via phone and the representative was very professional and helpful. He gave me instructions on how to get my rebate because my application wasn’t approved before. I did exactly what he said, I called back to ensure he received my email and now my rebate is approved. I’m a very happy customer.

    I was concerned when trying to access PC tune up. I got message that I was denied access. I called for assistance and was told the your system was being updated and I would hear back later. The issue is now resolved and I have done the scans and everything seems to be in order. The performance scan took 24 minutes and the vulnerability took 11 minutes.

    I was not able to validate my account, even tho I was signed in and everything else worked. It was only to see if my email had been pwned, but it didn’t work. I always demand that if there’s a function to ANYTHING, it better work right or I get rid of it. Be it a vacuum cleaner, a bandsaw, or an app, it should just work. Ali was persistent and followed up with me promptly. He’s kind, courteous, and has eloquent vocabulary. He will complete a task no matter how great or how small. He knows how to delegate authority!

    For some reason, Total defense was removed from one of our devices, and had to be reloaded. Carlos ** was very helpful. Walked me through the process and was patient while I located the appropriate things on screen. There appeared to be a phishing attack which initiated my contact with total defense to see what was going on, and discovered that the device's question was no longer part of the subscription. Thank goodness everything worked out well, everything is in order and I was able to run a full scan of the system and everything seems to be good.
