TotalAV App legitimacy

Greetings Apple Family,


I'm considering downloading the new TotalAV App to my MacBook Pro & iPhone, but hesitant when FREE is attached to it. I would really appreciate any advice, comment, or concerns to any user of the App.


And one more thing, is there a hidden clause somewhere in the App description about a "applied charges" after the FREE usage expires?


Thank you all in advance!

Do not install any third party antivirus apps. They are not needed and they may cause issues. They use system resources while providing no benefit.
