If you right-click TotalAV Essential Antiviruss icon in the Dock and select to quit, it will close TotalAV Essential Antivirus.

Yet TotalAV Essential Antivirus can be quit just like any other app.

This was suspiciously fast, completing in around five minutes.

In comparison, the fastest any other antimalware app has managed to complete a full scan is around 30 minutes.

Just before the scan completed, the TotalAV Essential Antivirus window reported around 780,000 files had been scanned.

This is much less than the circa 2.5 million the other antimalware apps claimed to have scanned on the exact same system.

This gave the system resources quite a workout, and made the Macs fans spin-up.

For example, while it found duplicate photos, it didnt show previews of them, forcing us to open them in Finder to ensure they are actually identical.

Its on-demand scanning fared better, but was still not as good as most of the other antimalware apps weve reviewed.

That said, were not sure we would buy TotalAV Essential Antivirus just for those.
