Computer viruses and other malware are ever-increasing threats to security and privacy. We lab test and review the latest software for Windows and Mac, including free software and Microsoft's built-in Windows Defender, to help you find the best antivirus and internet security solution for you.

Our expert testers give every program a thorough workout to help find the ones that:

  • are best at protecting you from malware
  • are the easiest to set up and use
  • have the lowest impact on your device performance.
 

Use our antivirus software buying guide to decide which type of desktop internet security program you need.

Our interactive comparison tool helps you find out which brands provide key security features such as anti-phishing protection and parental controls, and our Recommended list will show you at a glance which programs come out on top.
