Best Antivirus Solution for your Computers

This is 2017, do I really need an antivirus program, you might ask? Yes, yes you do! It is true that general web security is more secure than ever but that is no excuse to not have antivirus protection. These days "antivirus" is short hand for any tool that will protect your computer, and everything on it, from viruses, Trojan horses, ransomware, rootkits, worms, and many more types of malicious software that will "infect" your computer.

Like with humans, different infections have different symptoms and any antivirus program you have should be robust enough to protect your valuable data from all types of infections while not being intrusive and slowing down your machine. Here is a list of quality antivirus programs that will keep you safe.

Webroot

Very easy to install and runs in the background. Informing you when you are about to visit a suspect website, Webroot is always on and works on any device you own. Webroot is a favorite of ours because they, like us, are known for providing great customer service. Any threats not quarantined by Webroot can be resolved by calling their tech support. This program scores very highly in independent lab tests for security.

McAfee Antivirus

Including firewall protection and many other security features, this multi-platform support program will provide unlimited protection for Windows, Android, macOS and iOS devices. The installation process has been streamlined and uses a completely new virus detection and remediation engine, Real Project. This engine analyzes your behavior and sends behavioral data to the cloud for security analysis. Independent reviews show that McAfee products while acceptable are not always the best. McAfee does have a large array of bonus features and they really want to be your one-size-fits-all solution for security.

Bitdefender Antivirus

Independent reviews have consistently praised Bitdefender for its superior performance. Great for Windows 10 systems and offering 24/7 customer support, Bitdefender has the widest array of tools available in its most basic package plan. You will be paying extra for mobile device safety. Best on Windows 10 but offering solid support across any Windows OS, Bitdefender has impressive performance and is a solid choice for an antivirus program

AVG AntiVirus

AVG AntiVirus does extremely well at detecting malware, it can be slow at performing scans and is the slowest of all the solutions detailed so far. AVG will wait til your computer is idle before running a resource intensive scan of your PC. Very good support for zero-day threats, AVG provides live chat support and like McAfee uses the cloud to analyze potential threats and safely deploy effective means of blocking or quarantining your computer.

In Conclusion

This is not a comparison list of antivirus programs, one is not better than the other. All of the above solutions are very effective for keeping you and your devices safe from malicious threats that range from stealing your banking data from emails to ransoming your data for money. The importance of protecting yourself and your loved ones from malicious software that can steal their identities is very crucial today. Protect yourself and your family by using a legitimate and reliable antivirus solution.
