If you’re looking for a basic and comprehensive antivirus program that can secure all your devices and online activities, there aren’t any better alternatives than Avast Free Antivirus. Its malware detection rate was among the top in our testing and it comes with other features like a password manager. A file shredder, and tune-up utility are also available. However, the program does consume memory and can cause slowdowns when scanning large files or running programs.
The paid versions of Avast are a bit more expensive, but they offer some nice extras, such as parental controls as well as a fantastic browser extension that can help protect your privacy. You’ll also get a good amount of cloud storage which is handy for backing up files or creating an emergency restore point. There’s a broad selection of security suites available starting from the basic Antivirus Plus to the flagship Total Security. This includes a dedicated ransomware defense and an easy-to-use sandbox to test apps that are suspicious.
Kaspersky is different to other premium antivirus software since its products are essentially all variations of the same software. The major difference is that the bigger suites add extra features, such as a password manager, as well as an built-in VPN. They also provide support for more devices. A basic subscription gives security for one computer, and up to five on the premium level.
Sophos’ AV Home offers a decent level of protection for an affordable price and its latest version has been a hit in our lab tests. It’s not as robust as other products however, its simple interface is suitable for beginner users. If you want more functionality you can expand the home products to include up to 10 devices.
