Free

And its main advantage is that it does not need to be installed, it is initially sewn into the system itself.
He was recognized as one of the best five times during testing in 2021.

Result

As you and I were able to see, there are many antiviruses and each of them has good characteristics, as well as some have unique functions that make them more significant for the client.

If you choose among free antivirus programs, then there are not so many good ones, and if you choose among these three, then you can not download the antivirus because Microsoft Defender antivirus copes with the tasks set. But if suddenly you are not satisfied with it, we recommend using Avast free antivirus because it is easy, and many users were satisfied.

As for paid antiviruses, everything is more complicated here. There are a lot more good paid antiviruses and it is difficult to understand which one is best to use, but here the whole point is, who are you - an ordinary user or a company? Yes, this will influence the choice of antivirus, because almost everyone of them provides the opportunity to use more than 1 device.

An ordinary user – In this case, it is best to choose something inexpensive and high-quality, and this criterion falls under: Kaspersky Internet security and ESET NOD32 among these two antiviruses, I liked ESET NOD32 more. It has a nice design, intuitive controls and excellent additional functions, as well as the price fully justifies itself.

Company – In this case, you will have a bigger and more difficult choice. If you have a large number of computers, then we can advise you - AVG Internet security, although it is too heavy for systems, but it can be connected to a large number of devices at once, which will be very beneficial. If you choose among those antiviruses that allow you to connect 3 devices, then we recommend BullGuard Internet security. This antivirus can be confidently called one of the best where price = quality because it has excellent characteristics, and it has been tested for the highest scores.
It does not matter if you are an ordinary user or a company that requires good data protection, it is important that we all want to feel safe and that our data is also securely stored. Mivocloud it will take care of protecting your server from ddos attacks and spam, and can also management your server for an additional fee.
