What best means here

Here, best will mean a security plan whose device coverage, included features and renewal terms are clear, with the criteria published first. For now the options below are unranked, and we have not run our own tests on these products.

Before you choose

  1. 1

    Devices and operating systems the plan covers, including how many devices are included.

  2. 2

    Features you need, such as a VPN or password manager, and whether they are included or sold separately.

  3. 3

    Renewal price and what the plan costs after the first term.

  4. 4

    Independent lab results. Before you buy, check published tests from independent labs for the products you are considering.

  5. 5

    Refund terms on the store’s own site.

How we will rank this

We have not published a ranking for this page. A ranking will only appear once each criterion has a documented source, and it will say which source it used. Commission will never be one of the criteria.

A few good questions

Is free antivirus enough?

Free and paid plans cover different things. Compare the feature list for each plan against the devices you need to protect.

Does one plan cover all my devices?

Check the device limit and the operating systems each plan lists. Some plans cover a set number of devices or only certain systems.
