We do feel that Norton 360 Premium is the best anti-virus product on the market today.

That recommendation comes from our own comparative testing and use of the products, we have no relationship with Norton/Symantec. Click on the box at left for more information. We have found that none beats Norton by Symantec Security Premium; and for around $50, you can get it to cover up to 10 devices; that includes computers, laptops, ipads, tablets, cell phones, etc. In addition to virus protection, Norton has SECURE VPN to browse anonymously and securely with a no-log VPN while using public WiFi. This adds bank-grade encryption to help keep your information like passwords and bank details secure and private.
DARK WEB MONITORING: to monitor and notify you if Norton finds your personal information on the Dark web*
100GB PC CLOUD BACKUP is included to allow you to store important files off-site in the cloud as a preventative measure to data loss due to hard drive failures, stolen devices and even ransomware.**
And a PASSWORD MANAGER that securely stores and remembers your usernames, passwords, and more so you don't have to.

It even has Parental Controls!

If you have already been infected and want to clean your computer:

MalwareBytes does a very good job of cleaning out and blocking malware.

For example, if your kids click on every link and go to dubious websites, they could infect your home computers with malware. 

 Malwarebytes catches andblocks that in real time.

Malwarebytes says their cybersecurity technology finds malware on 39 percent of devices that already have antivirus installed.

Malwarebytes Premium removes malware, viruses, and other threats from your device in seconds, and stops future infections with Real-Time Protection that works 24/7. Malwarebytes Privacy is a next-gen VPN that helps protect your privacy and secures your WiFi connection, delivering speeds way faster than older VPNs.
And while many cybersecurity products work to protect you but slow your computer,

Malwarebytes does it without hogging your system's resources or spamming you with annoying notifications.

Put safety first without putting performance last.
