Activating Total AV Antivirus on a phone involves a straightforward process that ensures the device is properly protected against malware and other security threats. The steps may vary slightly depending on whether the phone is running Android or iOS, but the general approach remains the same. Here's a detailed breakdown of how to activate Total AV Antivirus on a mobile device:
First, you need to download the Total AV app from the Google Play Store for Android devices or the Apple App Store for iOS devices. Search for "Total AV" in the store, and then tap the Install button to download the application onto your phone.
Once the app is installed, open the application by tapping the Total AV icon from the app drawer or home screen.
After installation, launch the app by tapping on its icon. On first launch, you may be prompted to allow the app necessary permissions, such as access to device storage, network, and other system components. For Total AV to function properly and perform thorough security checks, granting these permissions is essential.
To activate Total AV on your phone, you must sign in with your Total AV account. If you do not already have an account, you can create one during the activation process. This step is important because it links your license to your phone, enabling you to access premium features if you have a subscription.
Tap on the Sign In button, and enter your username and password. If you don’t have an account, follow the prompts to create one.
In some cases, especially if you purchased a subscription directly, you may need to enter a license key or activation code. This code can typically be found in the email you received after purchasing Total AV or on your account page on the Total AV website.
If prompted, input the activation code exactly as it appears. Make sure there are no extra spaces or typos, as this could cause the activation to fail.
Once you've signed in and entered any necessary activation details, Total AV will verify your account or activation code. If everything is correct, the app will display a confirmation message stating that the activation was successful. At this point, your Total AV antivirus software is fully activated on your mobile device.
For Total AV to function optimally, the app may request additional permissions. These can include access to network settings, allowing the app to perform real-time protection, or enabling features like the VPN. Depending on your device and Android or iOS version, you may be prompted to grant these permissions.
Granting the requested permissions is crucial for the app to provide full security features, such as scanning for malware, phishing attempts, or data leaks.
Once activated, it’s recommended to enable real-time protection in the app’s settings. This ensures that Total AV runs in the background, continuously scanning your device for potential threats. Real-time protection can often be turned on or off from within the app's Settings or Protection section.
After activation, you can initiate a full system scan to ensure your device is free of any existing malware or security issues. This scan will check for malicious apps, files, or settings that might compromise your phone's security. You can choose between different types of scans, such as a Quick Scan or a Full Scan.
To maintain continuous protection, Total AV allows you to set up automated scans on a schedule. You can configure the app to scan your phone daily, weekly, or at your preferred frequency. Additionally, you can enable alerts that will notify you if any issues are detected during a scan or if your device is at risk.
For the antivirus software to protect you against the latest threats, it is important to keep the app updated. Total AV will usually notify you when updates are available, but you can manually check for updates within the app’s settings. Ensuring that both the app and virus definitions are up to date helps the software remain effective against new security threats.
If you're using a paid version of Total AV, it’s a good idea to periodically check the status of your subscription within the app. Most versions of Total AV will display subscription details, such as the expiry date or next payment cycle, under the Account or Subscription section of the app. This ensures you’re always aware of when your subscription is due for renewal.
If you encounter issues during activation:
Check your internet connection: Ensure that your device is connected to a stable network during the activation process.
Verify your credentials: Double-check that the username and password entered are correct.
Ensure no conflicting apps: Disable any other antivirus apps or security software that may be conflicting with Total AV.
Contact customer support: If activation problems persist, reaching out to Total AV’s customer support team can help resolve any issues related to licensing or activation.
By following these steps, you can successfully activate Total AV on your phone, ensuring that your device is protected against malware, phishing, and other online security threats.
