You’re behind the curve if you aren’t using an antivirus tool. The internet is dangerous and laden with invisible threats to the naked eye. Luckily, antivirus (AV) software can spot lurking viruses that want nothing but to take over your computer. Tap or click here to find out why you need antivirus software.
If you’re looking for an antivirus tool, you may wonder whether you should pick a free or paid version. A few solutions won’t cost you a dime, which can be pretty appealing. But, as with all things, you get what you pay for.
There are a few potential dangers that come with downloading free antivirus apps. They may or may not even offer protection. Over the years, some have been caught stealing information from users like you.
The whole purpose of an antivirus program is to sniff out any malware you come into contact with. It also works as your device’s bodyguard, fighting against Trojans, botnets, ransomware and other threats that want to slip in. This war is waged in the background, so you aren’t disturbed while working.
Free antivirus programs often offer a limited scope of features. Many companies try to win you over through free offerings. If you want more protection, you’ll have to pay.
Privacy, security, the latest trends and the info you need to stay safe online.
Free software provider Avast came under fire recently for reportedly selling users’ web browsing data. An investigation said Avast tracked users’ clicks and actions around the web — including Google Searches and trips through porn websites.
Avast then repackaged and sold the data through Jumpshot, a subsidiary that shut down since the news broke.
If you’re looking for an antivirus program that protects your data instead of exploiting it, we recommend our sponsor, TotalAV. It provides real-time protection that defends against all sorts of phishing attacks.
