List of paid antiviruses

ESET NOD32

When it comes to the capabilities of antivirus software, ESET is not always remembered, even though the company’s security programs are installed on 100 million devices around the world. You should not underestimate the arsenal of NOD32 Antivirus, since the antivirus has a large toolkit at its disposal to prevent hackers from attacking your computer. The cost of an annual subscription for 2 client computers is 1,590 rubles.

It is worth noting the fast scanning speed of local computer media in a special mode. At the same time, the antivirus carefully uses PC resources without interfering with other running processes. Gamers will love the special game mode, which automatically turns off all pop-up notifications. The only drawback of NOD32 Antivirus is its weak protection against phishing; the program still allows a large number of malicious sites to pass through.

Conclusion: best antivirus for Windows 10, in advancetakes first place in the PCMag portal rating. Suitable forwindows 7.

Kaspersky Total Security

The latest version of the product is positioned as a cross-platform antivirus to protect several synchronized devices at once. By purchasing an annual subscription for 1990 rubles, the user receives licensed client Total Security, which monitors possible threats for both PCs and smartphones.

The antivirus has received several useful protective functions. For example, a virtual safe can block data on a disk with just one click of a button, and the Kaspersky Safe Kids parental control system limits access to potentially inappropriate sites for children. The disadvantages of Kaspersky Total Security include significant time Windows boot 10 when the antivirus autostarts.

Conclusion: the program will reliably protect your data on several devices at once; a wide range of tools increases the level of reliability of everyday PC use.

DR.Web

The latest versions of DR.Web antiviruses have been giving a clear answer to the question of which antivirus is best for Windows 10 for many years now. An annual subscription to the Dr. client. Web Security Space 11 costs only about 950 rubles. For this money, the user receives a file antivirus, Web antivirus, a parental control system and preventive protection. The latter does not allow distribution malware even before they are launched.

Last Security version Space 11 still has not gotten rid of the standard “disease” that plagues many antivirus solutions – overconsumption RAM. Running local media scanning significantly reduces PC performance.

Conclusion: a cheap, but hardware-demanding antivirus. Recognizes the vast majority of viruses at an early stage.

Norton Security

Norton's reputation speaks for itself; the developer's products have been ranked among authoritative portals for several years in a row. Annual subscription to latest version Norton antivirus Security Deluxe will cost the buyer 1,205 rubles for 5 devices.

One of the main trump cards of Norton Security over its competitors is the presence of a special intelligent learning system. It has a multi-level protection principle that prevents malware from running. According to PCMag magazine, the antivirus received 9.7 points out of 10, these results were given after testing the program to prevent virus attacks. It is also worth noting the high Windows speed 10 with Norton Security installed.

Conclusion: an almost flawless antivirus with excellent performance. Included in the TOP 10 information security products according to the publicationPCMag.

Emsisoft Anti-Malware

An annual subscription to Emsisoft Anti-Malware 11.0 will cost the user exactly 999 rubles. It is worth noting the intuitive design of the antivirus; all unnecessary options are hidden in the settings menu. On home page four programs can be seen large buttons, which lead to other windows.

The client performs excellently in PCMag's test, blocking 98% of malware. In addition to regular scanning, Anti-Malware also monitors suspicious activity already installed programs. If unwanted processes are detected, the client immediately notifies the user. But things are bad with phishing; most attacks on suspicious sites were ignored.

Conclusion: an inexpensive antivirus with good protection against malware. The only negative is that it is not suitable for phishing sites.

List of free antiviruses 2019

AVAST Free

There is an opinion that free antiviruses have reduced functionality and are unable to protect important data. In the case of AVAST Free, everything is just the opposite; the antivirus in some aspects is superior to similar solutions from competitors. In addition to the usual scanning of local drives, AVAST Free also monitors Internet traffic, stores user passwords, provides encrypted access to the Network and checks the reliability of Wi-Fi networks.

If you decide to install a paid version of another client, AVAST Free will automatically go into sleep mode. The antivirus will not waste PC resources or conflict with another program. The problem with the software remains its weak protection against phishing; the client sometimes does not block potentially unwanted sites.

Conclusion: one of the best free antivirus programs, despite problems with phishing.

AVG AntiVirus Free

The program is managed using a single centralized utility, AVG Zen. Its interface is as simple as possible and includes four main menus: the antivirus itself, PC performance optimization, VPN protection and the Web Tuneup function. Some of the client's features are still only available after paid subscription.

Reliability tests gave AVG AntiVirus Free very high scores. The program blocks up to 99% of malware coming to your computer from various sources. Phishing protection works at an average level; approximately 15% of unwanted sites still open in the user’s browser. Separately, it is worth noting the Do Not Track function. It blocks tracking of your activities (time spent visiting sites, activity) by third-party services.

Conclusion: free and reliable choice. To unlock all features, it is recommended to subscribe to a paid subscription.

BitDefender Antivirus Free Edition

The lack of a paid subscription does not prevent this antivirus from providing complete protection for the user. In the blocking test, the program scored the maximum number of points possible. The results of BitDefender Antivirus Free Edition were even better than those of some services with a very expensive paid subscription.

In addition to almost 100% blocking of malware, the antivirus provides one of the highest levels of protection against phishing. Additional features include Bitdefender SafePay, a special process that isolates a specific part of the desktop. It is recommended to use it during financial transactions over the Internet.

Conclusion: One of the best free alternatives to protect against phishing attacks. The only negative is the almost complete absence of all additional functions without a paid subscription.

Kaspersky Free

The variety of functions of Kaspersky Free is quite difficult to understand at first; a novice user will have to get used to it for quite a long time. The interface design of Kaspersky Free is very similar to the arrangement of icons in similar products from ESET.

The antivirus test results do not disappoint the name of the well-known company; the program coped with the majority of malicious links from the Internet. Additional features include onscreen keyboard for secure password entry and a simple VPN. The latter provides a secure connection, albeit at a very low speed and only 200 MB of traffic per day.

The free version of the antivirus has an average level of protection and very annoying advertising. In the process of work, new notifications appear every now and then with a call to install other products of the company.

The effectiveness of Avira Free has been proven in laboratory tests; antiviruses for Windows 10 from many other competitors remain behind the program's points. True, you will have to pay for security with a large amount of RAM, since the client uses PC resources very sparingly. The developers promise to improve antivirus optimization in 2019.
