[harlan4096]

This test shows how an antivirus behaves with certain threats, in a specific environment and under certain conditions.

We encourage you to compare these results with others and take informed decisions on what security products to use.

Before buying an antivirus you should consider factors such as price, ease of use, compatibility, and support. Installing a free trial version allows an antivirus to be tested in everyday use before purchase.

In October 2019, the CheckLab.pl organization prepared a summary of popular free applications to protect personal computers. So what is the best free antivirus? It is difficult to answer this question because a variety of free solutions makes the decision is not so obvious, additionally only big developers can offer relatively good protection. It is important to remember that free antivirus do not protect against all types of attacks. Free security software does not have the variety of functionality as commercial equivalents, so free antivirus should be at least complemented by a safe browser for online banking as well as a set of browser extensions to improve privacy and data protection.
