Norton Security is another virus and malware scanner that gets a lot right. Support is available via email, live chat and phone, plus a community forum in five languages, robust knowledge base with articles covering each Bitdefender product, and video tutorials. Plus, it’s pricier than other antivirus software, and its cheaper plans only support Windows, and lack core protection features like a firewall.

The downside with the paid version is that although it offers unlimited VPN access, a separate subscription is required to enjoy this service. It doesn’t have specific features for different threats as its paid counterpart does, and it lacks multi-layer ransomware protection. Extras include a password manager, and a free Bitdefender Antivirus edition is available with excellent protection, anti-phishing, anti-fraud, and a user-friendly interface.
