- If you're wondering
what the best antivirus
[2]
for windows 10 is this year?
[4]
Well, you've come to the right place.
[6]
Welcome, with the ever-growing
threat of computer viruses,
[10]
a strong antivirus is an essential
[13]
and it should never
just be an afterthought.
[15]
So that's why today we're gonna talk about
[17]
reputable anti-virus picks
that will protect your PC
[21]
without compromising their performance.
[23]
Urgh, that is the worst,
we'll cover pros, cons
[27]
and insights.
[28]
So be sure to stick around
for our number one pick
[31]
and as always I'll link in
the description some articles
[34]
where you can get great deals
[35]
if you visit providers via our website
[38]
and generally compare
anti-virus softwares too
[40]
so be sure to check it out.
[44]
All right, let's kick things off
[46]
with a really flexible
software and a good choice
[49]
not only for your windows computer.
[51]
McAfee Total Protection,
this provider has great
[55]
cross-platform support even
with their cheapest plan.
[58]
There's also no denying
that the basic package
[60]
is really feature rich.
[62]
My favorites, encrypted storage,
[64]
which uses a top of the
line 256-bit encryption.
[68]
Then, home network security,
[70]
which helps block cyber criminals
[71]
from infiltrating your home connection.
[74]
They offer a few irresistible
plans, which would be perfect
[77]
if you want to manage all your devices
[79]
that are connected to your home wifi
[81]
especially if you jump from
a personal PC, a home PC
[85]
to work phone on the regular.
[87]
Now moving on to perhaps
unexpected pick, TotalAV.
[91]
Okay, sure their free plan is
a little on the basic side,
[94]
but if you can invest in an antivirus,
[97]
their premium plans open up
a whole new world of defense,
[100]
particularly looking at
their excellent protection
[103]
against a long list of internet threats,
[105]
real-time protection against malware
[107]
and even an optimization
tool so your experience
[110]
is less affected on weaker devices.
[113]
Now I will say though that it's
not higher on this list here
[115]
because their most
expensive plan only protects
[118]
a maximum of six devices.
[120]
The browser extension really
isn't that user-friendly
[123]
compared to others that I've tried
[124]
and it does have some
UI quirks in general.
[127]
Having said this, the
desktop app is really smooth,
[130]
organized and a total
joy to navigate, nice.
[134]
Our number three spot
goes to a Avira Antivirus.
[137]
Their free version includes
luxuries like a VPN,
[141]
a firewall, ad blocker, heck
there's even a password manager
[144]
in there it's true.
[146]
This is undeniably one of the
best free plans you can find
[149]
though we will always
recommend a premium suite
[152]
for complete online
protection with features like
[155]
real-time data breach alerts,
automatic software updates
[158]
and secure browsing to
stop those intrusive ads.
[161]
And don't forget to check the links
[162]
if you're interested in
getting some discounts
[164]
off any of these premium packages today
[167]
Again, Avira Antivirus is
a great pick for windows
[170]
as it has many windows exclusive features
[172]
including the privacy settings
[174]
and it'd be 100% transparent.
[176]
Some independent test
scores are a little low
[179]
that's why we're keeping
it at number three.
[181]
Still can't fault its usability
and some great features.
[185]
Now if you did run into any issues,
[187]
they've got 24/7 live chat,
which we can all appreciate.
[191]
Our number two spot is
another well-known name
[193]
in the antivirus game,
Norton 360, what a segue.
[198]
This provider offers
really great packages,
[200]
but admittedly it's on the higher end.
[203]
So some might be wondering
if it's worth it.
[205]
Let us know your thoughts
[206]
on that subject down in the comments.
[208]
Personally, I honestly
find this service offers
[211]
really great protection
without having to sacrifice
[214]
your device performance
which is really great.
[217]
That alone is super valuable,
now to be fair to Norton,
[221]
even their standard package
offers some good additions
[223]
like a firewall, which helps
you block suspicious traffic.
[226]
It offers 10 gigabytes
of cloud backup, a VPN
[229]
and even a password manager.
[231]
Honestly, there's no skimping here.
[233]
Aside from no free version
and a bit of a steep price,
[237]
it's a great pick, especially for families
[239]
as they do offer some
family oriented features
[242]
like parental controls and school time.
[245]
Although I do wish they
had include some form
[247]
of a secure browser to really
take things up a notch.
[250]
Now for the moment of truth,
[252]
our number one spot goes to Bitdefender.
[256]
TA-DA look, if you've got 5
million users backing you,
[260]
you're doing something right,
that's a lot of people.
[263]
Not only do they have
a great free version,
[265]
but I don't feel cheated
[267]
with what the premium
options have to offer.
[269]
In contrast to Norton 360
standard plan for the same price,
[273]
Bitdefender offers one of
their most advanced suites.
[276]
Even with Bitdefender's free plan,
[278]
you protect your web surfing and banking
[281]
through their anti-phishing
and anti-fraud features.
[283]
I do favor their premium features though
[285]
as files are protected
from ransomware attacks
[288]
and you can even use their file shredder
[290]
to destroy any sensitive documents.
[292]
Again, a feature you won't find
[294]
with a few of the providers
we've mentioned here today.
[297]
New users could find
it a little complicated
[300]
and whether it will slow down your system
[302]
is really dependent on
how old your device is.
[305]
But other than this, the active
scans run really smoothly
[308]
and they're more advanced
plan offers features
[311]
to speed up your devices.
[313]
Okay, I'm gonna bring up
something a little controversial
[315]
but first, if you love
content just like this,
[318]
well subscribe and like this video.
[320]
We post every week by the way.
[322]
Now should you look further
than Microsoft Windows Defender?
[325]
Many have been known just to
stick with Windows Defender
[328]
because it's well free and
already on your system.
[331]
However, it's no secret that
[333]
it doesn't give advance protection
[334]
as all of the softwares
we've mentioned today.
[337]
Not to forget some of
these providers guarantee
[339]
100% protection against malware
[342]
and the same can't be
said for Windows Defender.
[346]
Having an antivirus is really important
[349]
especially as most
viruses end up on devices
[351]
due to human error, that's you.
[354]
Any of our top five picks will mitigate
[356]
a lot of risks that come
with everyday surfing
[358]
and online activities
so figure out which one
[361]
is the best fit for you and pick it.
[364]
All right, thanks for watching this video
[366]
and we'll see you in the next one.
