I have used totalav virus protection for several years.
The price went sky high so i didnt renew.
Total av left the screen but it wont uninstall. It is still shown in my programs and when i try to uninstall it, a message pops up that im not authorised to uninstall. when i logged in to totalav it shows a current account still active but it isnt as i did not pay it.
Totalav provide NO CONTACT METHOD.
Can you assist please and also tell me if microsoft security is a good anti virus and its the same as windows defender.

@IMac007, Welcome to HP Support Community,
Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue
Yes! It’s the same as Windows Defender. It’s:
Built into Windows 11
Gets regular updates
Good for everyday protection
You don’t need to pay for other antivirus software unless you want extras.
I hope this helps.
Please feel free to reply here if you have any questions or if you need further clarification on any of the steps.
Take care and have a good day.
