A Beginner’s Guide to Using TotalAV Antivirus

So, your computer’s been acting weird lately.

Slower than usual. Ads popping up outta nowhere. Files taking forever to open. Maybe it’s just being moody. Or maybe... it’s something else.

That’s when the thought hits. Could be a virus. Or malware. Or some other sneaky thing crawling around behind the scenes.

You Google around. Read a few reviews. Then, one name keeps coming up: TotalAV.

Now you're here. Curious. Wondering what TotalAV really is, and more importantly, how the heck you actually use it.

Let’s break it down. No tech talk. No confusing jargon. Just a real guide—for real people—trying to keep their stuff safe.

What is TotalAV, Anyway?

Okay, first things first.

TotalAV is an antivirus software. But it's more than just that. It’s like a bodyguard for your computer, your phone, your whole digital life. It’s built to find threats, block them, and keep your stuff locked down.

Viruses. Malware. Ransomware. Spyware. You name it—TotalAV’s got it covered.

But it’s not just for stopping the bad stuff. It also helps speed up your system. Cleans junk files. Even protects you online with a built-in VPN. Handy, right?

Installing It Is the Easy Part

So let’s say you’ve bought it. Or you’re on a free trial. Either way, installing TotalAV is actually kinda simple.

You head over to their site. Download the software. Double-click. Follow the steps.

Boom. It’s in.

Once it's installed, TotalAV launches itself. You don’t even have to go hunting for the app. It just pops up like, “Hey, I’m ready. Let’s get started.”

It’ll ask if you want to run a quick scan. You should. It’s the easiest way to see what’s lurking on your system.

The First Scan – A Little Nerve-Wracking

Now, here’s where it gets real.

That first scan? It can be a little scary. You sit there watching the progress bar move across your screen, wondering if it’s gonna dig up anything nasty.

Spoiler: It probably will.

Old tracking cookies. Junk files. Maybe even a trojan or two hiding deep in your downloads folder.

But that’s the beauty of it. TotalAV doesn’t just point out the bad stuff—it actually gets rid of it. Click “Resolve,” and you’re done. Clean.

Feels good, right?

The Dashboard Isn’t Just Pretty—It’s Smart

Open TotalAV and you’ll see what they call the "dashboard."

It’s clean. Not cluttered. Everything you need is right there—virus scan, system boost, disk cleaner, web shield. All laid out in a way that doesn’t make you squint or feel dumb.

You want a quick scan? Click. Done.

Need a deeper, full system scan? It’s just another click.

Wanna check your system's performance? Yup. Click again.

There’s even a Safe Browsing feature that uses a VPN to hide your activity. Total privacy. No one watching.

It’s one of those things you didn’t know you needed until you try it.

TotalAV on Your Phone? Yes, Please

Here’s something a lot of people don’t think about: your phone needs antivirus too.

We carry our lives in these things. Photos, messages, banking info. And yep—phones get malware too.

TotalAV has mobile apps for both Android and iOS. You can scan your phone, clean up space, and even use the VPN to stay safe while browsing on public Wi-Fi.

It’s all synced up. Simple. One account, multiple devices. That's it.

Real Life Happens. And TotalAV Helps

Let me tell you a quick story.

My aunt—not exactly a tech wizard—called me one night freaking out. Her laptop was frozen. Weird ads popping up. Files missing.

She thought she broke it. She didn’t.

Turns out she clicked a shady link in an email. Classic mistake.

I told her to try TotalAV. She didn’t even know what antivirus was. I walked her through the setup over the phone. Ten minutes later? It found four threats. Cleaned everything. Laptop running smooth again.

Now she swears by it. Even uses the VPN on her iPad. TotalAV kinda saved her digital life.

But What If Something Goes Wrong?

Look, nothing’s perfect. Even the best software might hit a snag.

That’s where total av customer support comes in. Whether it’s a billing issue or something’s not working right, they’ve got a team ready to help. Real people. Not some robot copy-pasting answers.

They walk you through it. Step by step. It’s actually kind of refreshing to talk to a support team that wants to help.

It’s Not Just About Viruses Anymore

Here’s the thing. Antivirus today isn’t just about fighting viruses.

It’s about protecting your identity. Your data. Your digital footprint.

TotalAV gets that. Which is why it includes more than just basic protection. You’ve got phishing protection. Email breach monitoring. Tools to stop sneaky ad trackers from following you around.

It’s a full security suite. Like a digital guardian angel for all your screens.

Final Thoughts: It’s Worth It

If you're someone who’s not super tech-savvy—or even if you are—TotalAV just makes life easier.

It doesn’t nag you with annoying popups. It runs quietly in the background, doing its thing. And when you need it, it’s there. Ready.

Setup is a breeze. Scans are quick. Protection is solid. And best of all? You don’t have to think too hard to use it.

At the end of the day, you want to feel safe when you’re online. Whether you're working, shopping, streaming, or just wasting time on Reddit—TotalAV helps you do that without stress.

So if you’ve been thinking about getting antivirus but weren’t sure where to start, this is it. Start here. Start simple.

Start with TotalAV.

The 2025 security checkup is complete

Back in January, I said that I was working on a security and privacy checkup for all my currently-maintained software projects. That project is now complete, though some projects will have further updates to enhance user security. Here's a summary of what I changed.

Functional changes

Link Cleaner, my web app for removing tracking parameters and other junk from URLs, no longer has a History page with previously-cleaned links. The usage of that page was very low, and its role as an always-on activity log could be a minor privacy risk if a threat actor gained physical access to the browser or device. All of Link Cleaner's functionality still runs on-device without sending links anywhere.

I also removed the public Plausible Analytics page for Nexus Tools, my installer and updater for Android SDK Platform Tools. It was a cool way to show off how many people were using Nexus Tools on which platforms, and didn't show any personally-identifiable information, but it probably doesn't need to be public.

PhotoStack Classic, the version of PhotoStack intended for old web browsers, was using an outdated version of the JZip library that had some minor security issues and has been fixed. The regular PhotoStack web app was not vulnerable to that exploit.

I'm considering other functionality changes to improve privacy and security, like updates to embedded content in the Peek extension, but there aren't any more super pressing changes that I am aware of right now. Finally, I shut down the static web hosts for two old web apps, Planr and Rockwell, since they might have privacy or security issues and (to my knowledge) no one is using them.

Privacy policies

Most of the work here was creating detailed privacy policies for each project, explaining exactly what data is collected, if any data is transmitted to me, and the options for opting out of data collection/transmission. The privacy policy for each project is under PRIVACY.md on the GitHub repository, somewhere in the interface for web apps, and in the product listing for browser extensions.

You can check out the Nexus Tools privacy policy as an example. Most of them are very short, since none of my projects collect personally-identifiable information or function as commercial products.

Staying secure

My software projects are all open-source on GitHub, and I'm doing my best to keep them as private and secure as possible while still giving me basic analytics data for focused development. I don't want your private data.

If you like my software projects, consider joining the Patreon if you haven't already, which gets you access to my monthly work logs. You can also donate through PayPal or Cash App, but I don't have a way to grant access to rewards through those options. Donations and patrons help pay for hosting costs, the Plausible Analytics subscription, domain registrations, and other costs.

How to Declutter Your Digital Space Without Lifting a Finger (Almost)

Digital clutter is sneaky. One day your phone and laptop are running smoothly, and the next, your desktop looks like a file explosion and your cloud storage is screaming for mercy.

The good news? You don’t need to spend hours cleaning it all up.

If you’ve already peeked at the lazy but genius ways to organize your digital life, this guide takes it a step further. These strategies are so effortless, it’s almost like you're not doing anything at all — just the way we like it.

1. Automate Your Cloud Storage Cleanup

Cloud platforms like Google Drive or Dropbox offer easy-to-use filters and automation tools. You can set them to auto-delete trash, auto-archive old files, or even color-label folders for visual clarity.

Try this lazy trick: Use Google Workspace’s "Storage Management" tool to bulk delete large files, duplicates, and old backups.

2. Use Smart Tools Like “Cleanfox” for Your Inbox

Manual unsubscribing is so last year. Tools like Cleanfox or Leave Me Alone scan your inbox, show you a list of all newsletters and subscriptions, and let you unsubscribe with a swipe or click.

Bonus points: They also show you how much CO₂ you save by decluttering your inbox. Lazy + eco-friendly? Yes please.

3. Schedule Your Phone to Auto-Delete Old Media

Most smartphones let you auto-delete photos, screenshots, or downloaded files after a set period. In iOS, enable Optimize iPhone Storage; on Android, use Files by Google to clean junk files in seconds.

Pair this habit with the mindset from the top 10 lazy but genius ways to organize your digital life, and you’ve got a phone that runs smoother without you lifting a finger.

4. Use “Stack” Apps to Organize Notes and Docs Automatically

Apps like Evernote, Notion, or OneNote allow auto-tagging, sorting, and folder rules.

Lazy Genius Tip: Set up templates or automations so that every new note is filed where it belongs — without you doing it manually.

5. Let Your Browser Clean Itself

Use browser extensions like:

OneTab: Closes all open tabs and saves them in a list

Tab Suspender: Auto-pauses inactive tabs

History AutoDelete: Keeps your browser history from becoming a hoarder's paradise

It’s a solid sidekick to the habits in the top 10 lazy but genius ways to organize your digital life post.

6. Set Recurring Reminders That Actually Work

The key word here is “recurring.” Instead of relying on memory, set monthly 10-minute digital cleanup reminders on your calendar. Automate the repeat, and you’ll never have to remember it again.

Use tools like:

Google Calendar (with reminders and checklists)

TickTick or Todoist (with smart recurring tasks)

Siri or Google Assistant (voice commands FTW)

7. Auto-Sort Downloads Using Folder Rules

Tools like Hazel (Mac) or File Juggler (Windows) can auto-organize your downloads folder based on file type, name, or date.

For example:

Move PDFs to Documents

Send images to Pictures

Trash zip files after 24 hours

This lazy automation turns chaos into calm without constant manual effort.

8. Delete Duplicate Files With a Click

Duplicate files = wasted space. Use tools like:

Gemini 2 (Mac)

CCleaner (Windows)

Duplicate Cleaner Free

These apps scan and clean up your hard drive or cloud storage with minimal interaction — perfect for lazy geniuses like us.

9. Use a Dashboard to See Everything at a Glance

Use Notion or Trello to build a minimalist dashboard of your digital world — to-dos, file links, notes, calendar, and tools all in one spot. Bonus: once it’s built, you just update it here and there.

Pair this with any technique from the top 10 lazy but genius ways to organize your digital life and you’ll become the CEO of calm.

10. Empty the Trash — Automatically

Set your system or cloud service to auto-empty the trash every 30 days. No emotional attachment needed.

Go to your system settings or storage settings (Google Drive, iCloud, etc.) and toggle on the auto-delete function.

Final Thoughts: It’s Not About Working Hard — It’s About Working Smart

Decluttering your digital life doesn't have to be a marathon. With these smart, nearly hands-off hacks, your devices can stay organized while you go do... well, anything else.

Think of this post as a deeper dive into the top 10 lazy but genius ways to organize your digital life — because the lazier the hack, the better the result.

Robot AU // closed rp

Robots have come a long way in just a few years. They have advanced far beyond the robotic lawn mower  and the vacuum cleaner robots. More and more people where owning self driving and speaking cars and tiny household robots to keep their houses and gardens clean.

The most advanced robots where the Androids. These robots looked completely human and are able to act and think for their own. But unlike all the domestic robots an android isn't freely available. The state and military were using them, mostly as soldiers, police officers, or oil rig workers or miners; jobs that were very dangerous and/or hard so the real people don't have to risk their live.

The android J-0N4/H4N was working for the police always putting himself between the danger and his human colleagues. The 'normal' police officers loved Johnny - that's what they called the android. But after having him for twenty years they decided he wasn't worth the money after he needed to be fixed after he got shot and heavily damaged. They also didn't properly disposed the android like they should. They just deleted Johnny's memory, put him in a car trunk and brought him to the junk yard and parked the car in line for the junk yard car press just because it was saving them some money and paperwork.
