Read this before the product section
The links on this page to TotalAV are paid links. Celinopex s.r.o. is paid a commission by TotalAV's affiliate programme when a reader subscribes after following one. You pay nothing extra for using them — the vendor funds the commission out of the sale, and the price on their site is unaffected by how you arrived.
The payment explains why this product is the one described at length here. It does not decide what the description says. The section below deliberately includes a list of things the vendor does not state, and those gaps are left visible rather than filled in.
Why the library covers one product rather than ten
A comparison site with an affiliate relationship to a single vendor has two options. It can publish a ranked list of ten products, nine of which exist to make the tenth look chosen. Or it can say that it covers one product, explain why, and spend the remaining effort on the category itself so the reader can evaluate anything — including this product — on their own terms.
This library takes the second option. The category pages carry the weight: what each component does, how the platform limits it, how the billing works over time. Those pages apply to every product in the category and would be worth reading if this page did not exist.
TotalAV
TotalAV is a consumer security subscription. The description below is confined to what the vendor states about the product; the sentences are deliberately short because the list of established facts is short.
| Question | Position |
|---|---|
| Product type | A consumer security subscription, sold direct to the public. |
| Mobile devices | Sold for mobile devices running Android, iOS and Windows. |
| Tablets | Sold for tablets running iOS, Android and Windows. |
| How it is bought | By subscription, through the vendor's own sign-up process. |
| Price in AUD | Not stated here. Pricing is set by the vendor, varies by plan and term, and should be read on their own site at the moment of purchase. |
| Feature list per plan | Not stated here. Which components are in which plan is the vendor's to specify, and it changes. |
| Detection performance | Not stated here. This publisher runs no tests and reprints none. |
| Renewal price and terms | Not stated here. Check the vendor's terms before subscribing; see subscriptions and renewals for what to look for. |
| Refund policy | Not stated here. The vendor's own policy applies, alongside consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law. |
Paid link. A commission is paid to Celinopex s.r.o. by the vendor if you subscribe after following it. The price you pay is the same either way, and the commission had no influence on the table above.
How to read the vendor's own page when you get there
The table above stops where the vendor's current material begins, which means the useful work happens on their site rather than on this one. Five things are worth locating before entering any payment detail, and all five are ordinary questions that any vendor should answer plainly.
- The price of the first term and the price of the next one. Introductory pricing is standard across this category. The number that matters for a household budget is the renewal figure, and it is usually stated somewhere in the terms rather than on the plan card.
- What is included on your platform specifically. A component list is often written for the strongest platform. If the device you care about is an iPhone, confirm which of the listed items apply there — the platform page explains why several of them cannot.
- The device count and what counts as a device. Household maths is the main reason people overbuy here.
- How cancellation works, and where the control lives. Whether it is a setting in the account, a form, or an email determines how much friction there will be later.
- The refund window and its conditions. The vendor's stated window is a contractual promise; it sits alongside, and does not replace, your consumer guarantees.
Questions readers ask about this page
No. Synthworks Online is published by Celinopex s.r.o. and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by TotalAV or any other vendor named on this site. It is an independent publication that carries paid links. The vendor's own site is the authoritative source for its products, pricing and terms.
No. This site hosts no software, no installers and no downloads of any kind. It is text and links. Any software you obtain should come from the vendor's own site or from the app store on your device.
Because the alternative is guessing. Prices, plan contents and terms change, and a comparison page that reprints them confidently is wrong within weeks and misleading in the meantime. Where this publisher does not have a reliable statement, the page says so and points you to the party who does.
If they are, the same rules will apply: any commercial relationship declared on the page itself, claims limited to what the vendor states, and no invented test results. The rules are set out on how comparisons here are built.
No. Affiliate commission is paid by the vendor out of the sale it already made; it is not added to your price. Arriving through a link here and typing the vendor's address into your browser lead to the same checkout at the same price. The difference is only in whether this publisher is credited for the referral.
Checking who you are actually buying from
One habit is worth carrying into any online subscription purchase, whatever the category. Before entering payment details, confirm that the address in the browser is the vendor's own domain rather than a similar-looking one, and that the page is served over HTTPS. Read the company details in the vendor's footer or terms, and note who the contracting party is — security products are frequently sold by a corporate entity with a different name from the brand, and that entity is the one your contract is with.
Guidance on recognising fraudulent purchase pages is published by Scamwatch, which is run by the National Anti-Scam Centre at the ACCC. That advice applies to every vendor, including the one described above, and it costs nothing to follow.
What this page deliberately does not do
It does not tell you that you need this product, or any product. It does not suggest your device is currently at risk, because this site knows nothing about your device and can see nothing about it. It does not present a score, a rating, a badge or a testimonial, and it never will — the reasoning is on the method page.
If you decide the category is not worth a subscription for you, that is a legitimate outcome of reading this library. The free measures described throughout — updates, multi-factor authentication, distinct passwords, tested backups — do the largest share of the work on any platform, and public guidance from the Australian Cyber Security Centre is available to everyone at no cost.
