There’s no greater thrill in the world than breaking open the box of a shiny, new electronic device — well, maybe with the exception of getting Thai takeout via drone (whoa). But once your device is out of the box, it’s in the real world, and that can be a little dangerous for your new digital pal. If you’ve ever experienced your brand new Macbook Pro getting infected with a virus or malware, you know the reality that comes with putting our entire lives into cyberspace.

Just like any good parent of a shiny new laptop, you have to keep your device safe. You can go piecemeal, cobbling together security from a bunch of different apps and sources, and spend all your time doing that. Or, you can address everything you need for security at once, by checking out TotalAV.

This holistic security solution works across all your devices (yes, all of them), even if they run off different operating systems (e.g., your job forces you to use a PC, but you’re an Apple die-hard otherwise). When you’ve spent a good chunk of change for your different devices, you want to be sure they’re in good operating condition for a while — TotalAV offers equal protection for both PCs and Macs, so you can rest easy and know both are secure.

Since TotalAV is so comprehensive, it eliminates the need to use multiple apps — meaning you can still stream the new season of your favorite show without buffering. You can reduce startup time, speed your CPU usage up, increase disk and memory space, and even increase battery life. That adds up to more time spent on you, not on waiting for your device to do its thing.

Plus, TotalAV delivers powerful antivirus protection with real-time updates against the most recent malware, and even works the same way a VPN does, completely encrypting your traffic for safe web browsing. It also secures your internet connection — which is especially helpful if you’re connected to public Wi-Fi. There’s even a Password Vault, ID protection monitoring, and a feature that blocks harmful URLs. You’re basically as secure as a super-spy in a summer blockbuster, with none of the huge, world-saving responsibilities.

In short, TotalAV is a one-stop shop for digital security. You can save $80 and protect all your devices for just $19.95.
