There are hundreds of antiviruses out there<\/strong> \u2014 and they all claim to offer the best protection at the best price. But I tested the top antivirus software on the market, and only a few of them are strong enough, secure enough, and effective enough to be considered the best antiviruses of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most antivirus programs include more than just a virus scanner<\/strong> \u2014 they also come with features that add additional protection, like a firewall, phishing protection, a virtual private network (VPN), a password manager, parental controls, and dedicated protections for mobile devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But a lot of antiviruses don\u2019t work as advertised<\/strong> \u2014 they have poor malware detection rates, don\u2019t consistently block malicious sites, and their extra features are badly designed and virtually useless (despite costing extra).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spent weeks testing the top antiviruses on the market,<\/strong> ranking them on security, functionality, speed, and price. Norton came out on top, but I found 10 other products that are also excellent. They all come with money-back guarantees or free trials long enough to see if they meet your expectations. Read on to learn more about each of them and decide which is best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McAfee<\/a> \u2014 Best for Online Security (+ Great for Families)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

McAfee has a great range of internet security features,<\/strong> including malware protection, anti-phishing protection, a password manager, a VPN, and identity theft monitoring and coverage. All of its features are easy to use and work just as advertised. On top of mobile coverage, it even has an app for Chromebooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
