Many of the best antivirus software suites also come with additional features, such as parental controls, a password manager and secure VPN access. If you’re looking for a package that includes all the features and the essentials we recommend Norton 360. If you’re only looking for basic security for your antivirus, Sophos is a great option. It’s a simple interface and uses very little system resources.

The antivirus programs are regularly updated to combat vulnerabilities and keep abreast of the latest threats. Choose a program that update its virus definitions daily at a minimum and more often if feasible. Some programs are updated automatically, while others need to be manually updated every day or according to a timetable.

The most popular antivirus programs provide high rates of malware detection as well as various additional security options, such as the firewall, web security engine and an anti-phishing tool. All the products we reviewed in 2023 offer a no-commitment trial period and a money-back guarantee, and the majority include a multi-device licence that includes five or more devices and computers running any operating system.

Some of the top antivirus programs are easy to use by new users but also offers plenty of customization options for advanced users. Intego Mac Security X9 is a good example. It offers a high degree of Mac-specific security options and high malware detection rates. It is one of the few antivirus programs we have tested that can also be used on Windows PCs. It also is priced at a reasonable for a yearly subscription.
