I have been a TD client for 5 years with my PC, never a problem. I called TD for help installing TD on my husband's new laptop. I received instructions and a link from Laurie, installed it easily. (I am not very skilled at all on computers). Over the weekend my PC became excruciatingly slow, appeared to have a virus. My TD showed a red warning stating my virus scanner was not working, I was not protected. I called and spoke with Laurie again. After explaining what was happening, she said she needed to talk to her supervisor. She was trying to contact her while I was on the phone. I requested the info be emailed as I had an appt to go to.
When I returned, the instructions and links to uninstall, use the cleaner, and reinstall were waiting for me. Instructions were concise and clear. My computer was barely cooperating but I got it done. Laurie was quick to check with her supervisor instead of telling me to try this or try that like IT people at other companies. She was clear and easy to understand when she spoke (unlike IT at other companies). The surprised look on my husband's face when I said I fixed it, made my day. Excellent service.

What a nice lady. The experience I had with Lori ** was great. She knew her business and was very courteous and understanding of my situation. I'm not too familiar with the computer and she put me at ease and make going through the procedure very easy. She did not make me feel uncomfortable with my limited knowledge of the computer.
She made a trying time for me very easy very smart lady a great deal of understanding and patience involving my problem. She took care of it really fast and I must say in all honesty she is an asset to your company. If there were more people like her doing business with the public would be so much easier to get things done. Thank you Lori. If I have another problem I will definitely ask for you. Once again thank you very much and stay safe.
Thank you for your review, it’s was our pleasure to assist you. We appreciate the opportunity to help and love the feedback.
Sad but true, I can't remember the last time I actually got SUPPORT from any place or website, like today. She was extremely helpful, on point, waited with me through switching out of things I didn't know, and the best part, is she has a personality! I didn't want to disconnect on her from being frustrated, granted it was over chat so I couldn't hear her voice, but I didn't get even the slightest impression that I was putting her out by having her help me. We joked and laugh, with everything going on in the world, especially right now.. It was good to laugh & smile while getting the help I needed. She was great!!! I have confidence in Total Defense, after chatting with her. I can only hope that if for whatever reason I might need help again, I get her again. She's the SUPPORT that every customer needs.
Thanks for the review! We are happy to hear you've experienced excellent service from our highly skilled technical support team.
2 components of Essential Anti-Virus suddenly stopped working. Every time I tried to do either a custom scan or an exclusion the program looked like it was going to work, it cleared the page, a blue circle started spinning and then it just shut down. I never got to the stage of telling the program which file(s) I want to scan or which folder I want to exclude. I did not get any error messages!
Emails to TD support were answered immediately by Ms ** with suggestions to solve the problem (complete with TD URL's to obtain necessary files). When they didn't work she arranged for a technician, Dan, to talk to me directly by phone. He thought that it was a MS problem with an incomplete or faulty update and arranged for TD to a remote connection the next day so they could confirm. Coincidentally MS did an unscheduled update that evening and afterwards the problem disappeared. Problem solved! Obviously MS at fault again. Most impressed by the top notch service, which is something I have come to expect from TD.
Glad we were able to assist. Prompt and accurate resolution with friendly technical support specialists, is exactly what we strive for, and we are extremely grateful for such positive feedback.
Was unsure if a prompt to renew was malware or valid, so I called the Total Defense renewal line. Daniel immediately put my mind at ease and patiently walked me through the renewal process. He helped me discover that one of our devices had somehow had its Total Defense completely deleted, leaving me with only a basic free product (probably a house guest's doing). He also advised me how to remove annoying and persistent pop ups that had plagued us for a long time. I thought I could do the download by myself, but when I was was unsure of a step, I replied to Daniel's download info. He promptly sent me the solution. So nice to have a US based support person who was both kind and patient. Definitely happy with our many years as a Total Defense customer.
Sincerely, Susan & Richard **
I hope you continue to enjoy your experience with the company.
Thank you Lori. She was quick and efficient to help me confirm we still have activation accounts left with Mediacom and she confirmed my activation was successful. Great experience after being disconnected when I tried to start with mediacom customer service.
Great to hear. On behalf of our highly skilled technical support team, thank you very much!
After a couple of attempt at redeeming my rebate. I spoke to Daniel this morning who told me what to do. Then when I called ack and spoke to Lori who was wonderful to help me with some difficulties I had earlier with my rebate. Everything went smoothly and quickly.
Glad we were able to assist. On behalf of our entire US-based support team, thank you!
After many years of trouble-free service, the download to my new computer hit a snag. A few emails later we connected for a Team Viewer session. It was no easy fix but Lori managed to resolve the issue. I am very grateful for the help. I will continue to recommend your product.
On behalf of the security support team, thank you so much for the 5 star rating and positive review regarding your experience with Total Defense.
My devices have been well-protected by Total Defense for many years. I recently received support to include protection for my mobile Smartphone. Lori speedily and patiently showed me how to do so and to cancel the trial version that was downloaded as a precautionary measure. Thank you, Lori!! Total Defense continues to be my prime support for protection. The quality of service and product is unsurpassed.
Thank you for your feedback! We truly value your continued business and look forward to serving you in the future.
Lorie ** assisted me with submitting my rebate information. She was very professional and pleasant to speak with during our call. I also corresponded with her thru email which in she was helpful in resolving my issue. Thank you very much.
Thank you for your review. We are so glad to hear about your experience with Total Defense.
