You get protection against viruses, malware, phishing, spyware and dangerous websites. The malware detection is 100 percent for both 0-day attacks (web and email) as well as for detection of the most common spread malware in the last four years.

This also combines a digital signature matching engine with heuristic monitoring, when it comes to antivirus to detect both known and unseen threats. Sure, it's not the cheapest, but for the price you get a 100 percent detection rate for both viruses and malware. If there are any free antiviruses to stay away from, they would probably be AVG and Avast because of that whole data collection scandal that happened last year.Visit Site (opens in new tab) at Bitdefender (opens in new tab)īitdefender Total Security is one of the best antivirus software options out there right now and was our top pick for best antivirus 2021. If you are willing to spend some money I would still go with Sophos because of their best in class ransomware protection now that they acquired HitmanPro. If you don't have any of those and want a free antivirus, I would 100% recommend Sophos Home because of their whole cloud thing. If you want to try ESET out, you can pm me i'll send you a referral code for another month free or something.Īnother thing I would like to note is that these usually come with VPNs included but as far as I know, they removed that if you get it through your ISP. I personally use ESET because I got it when I bought all my computer parts but my licence is running out soon so I might switch to one of these. Stay away from Malware Fighter and Driver booster because I've had issues with their reliability (Driver Booster downloading wrong drivers, etc.) There also is IOBit (you might know them from stealing Malwarebytes' code and claiming it as their own) their offering free lifetime licences for 2 of their products here (if I were you I would get uninstaller and ASC13). It is a bit outdated and I think that Spectrum switched to McAfee from F-Secure.

Hey, I know i'm really late, but there was a thread about a year ago that mentioned that some ISP's offer free antivirus to customers.
