6 of the best antivirus software options

TwitterFacebook

Antivirus software is an essential part of any PC owner’s arsenal. Staying safe from viruses, malware, ransomware, and phishing threats is just the beginning when it comes to what a good antivirus software package can protect you from. Many manufacturers now take a holistic approach to keeping your data safe, tackling more than just the odd suspicious file that might end up on your system. 

There are plenty of options out there for securing your PC, so it can be hard to know what package to purchase. Free antivirus software is an option but, typically, free solutions have fewer options and features than paid software. Generally, you do get what you pay for, and what price can you put on keeping your computer (and, more importantly, the data on there) safe from potential threats? It’s not so much the hardware that’s in danger, but details like your private documents, banking details, and personal photos that could be at risk here. Don’t sweat it — we’ve checked out the best paid antivirus software solutions and will outline why they’re worth the money. Read more…

Save $45 on Norton Security Deluxe on Amazon and secure up to 5 devices

The holiday season presents plenty of “stranger danger” moments for you and your family. The only risk that’s greater than strange people is strange people on the internet, all trying to get ahold of your personal information. And since 2017 saw a 3.5% increase in air travel from Dec. 15 to Jan. 4, you can bet 2018 will be just as busy — with even more opportunities to put your data at risk.

Whether it’s schlepping through airports, snoozing on a Greyhound bus, or simply escaping to a coffee shop to avoid your in-laws, Wi-Fi options this time of year are sketchy at best, leaving many at risk as hackers try to take advantage of vulnerabilities. If you’re not smart about staying safe online, it’s not all that difficult to become a statistic. According to Verizon’s 2018 Breach Investigation, 92% of malware is still sent out by email. Yikes.

7 of the best antivirus services for Android smartphones and tablets

TwitterFacebook

We hate to kick off this in such a negative fashion, but we feel obligated to alert all you Android users that your smart phones are vulnerable. While Android’s customization is great, the fact that they have an open platform makes them easier to hack and attack. And this can result in anything from lost photos and contacts to stolen credit card numbers and malware that bricks your phone, rendering it unusable and unrepairable. Fortunately, you can protect your Android by downloading an antivirus app. (Exhale deep sigh of relief now.)

Android antivirus apps work similarly to the antivirus software you would download for your PC. Once it’s been installed, the app will scan all the files on your phone and look for anything you might have downloaded inadvertently. As it completes the scan, it alerts you to any problems. However, unlike Mac or Windows-based software, not all Android apps automatically remove the harmful files. You may have to do that manually. Read more…

7 of the best antivirus programs for Windows 10

TwitterFacebook

Like it or not, your Windows 10 is highly vulnerable to all kinds of pernicious attacks — and hackers are just getting more and more creative with creeping into your personal computer. Denial of service, SQL injections, cross-site scripting, and password attacks are just a few of the threats you’ll have to contend with. 

And what happens if your information gets hacked? Just about anything under the sun. In 2017 alone, over 16 million people fell victim to identity theft. Combine that with password or document theft, and you get the picture. Having your computer hacked can get ugly fast.

Windows 10 does come with its own default antivirus program called Windows Defender. Unfortunately, comparative studies have shown that Windows Defender doesn’t always make the cut. Several of its features are more likely to fall short against other anti-virus software options. Read more…
