Avira Prime Review: Solid Unlimited Protection That Stops Just Short of Elite (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Across many security product lines, the antivirus, security suite, and enhanced top-tier suite share the same features. If a feature isn’t available at your chosen level, you get a suggestion to upgrade. Avira Prime is the top tier in the company's line, so you won’t see those upgrade prompts. Even better, your subscription gets you the Pro version of every Avira app and feature, including ones it hasn't invented yet. Avira doesn't have all the typical suite features, but if you're intent on usi
Avira Free Security Review: Strong Core Protection Paired With Heavy Upgrade Upsells (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Antivirus protection for your PC is imperative, even if you can’t afford it. If your budget is limited, choose a free antivirus tool. Avira Free Security, for example, goes beyond just antivirus, offering VPN, password management, ad blocking, and more.

If you’re interested in minimizing the exposure of your private activities, consider switching to an encrypted email provider that puts your security first, like Proton Mail. All your messaging with other Proton users is end-to-end encrypted, and you can exchange password-protected mail with non-users. You can eve
The First Antivirus Built for Family IT Support Misses the Mark on Protection (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Splashtop launched more than 20 years ago, and in its heyday, shipped on 300 million PCs. We've tested the company’s remote access solution and rate it an excellent four stars. The company has now released an antivirus, Splashtop Shield, with unique features informed by its extensive experience with remote access. I took it for a spin and concluded it’s not quite ready. Remote care for your family’s antivirus is a key feature for Splashtop, so even the Individual license ($36 per year) covers tw
