Antivirus is a software program designed to prevent, detect, and remove malware and viruses. It is available for all types of devices, such as desktops, laptops, smartphones, and tablets. Antivirus software typically runs in the background, providing real-time protection without interfering with your browsing experience.
Often, the basic malware protection provided by free antivirus software may not be enough to combat the ever-changing threat landscape, especially when it comes to zero-day and digital threats that go far beyond pure antivirus. Some features may be limited, and worse, some free programs may even collect your personal data in exchange for their services.

Have you ever received a text message congratulating you on a competition you never entered? Or ever received a poorly worded, confusing email from your bank claiming that you have an overdue bill? These, and the well-known Nigerian prince message, are examples of phishing. Phishing is a tactic used by cybercriminals to make you think you are about to be involved in a legal battle. In reality, you may be about to enter your bank credentials or credit card number into a fake website.
