I’m occasionally asked what antivirus tool I use, or what anti malware tool, personal firewall software, etc. My answer changes with each passing year. New tools emerge, old ones don’t score so well or become bloated with features I don’t need.
These days I just point people at AV Test. These guys do all the heavy lifting for you. They test the commercial and free security tools, putting them through rigorous testing and benchmarking. They then collate the results and present them to you for free to make your own choices.
So next time you want to know what the best antivirus tool is for your device head on over to AV Test. I check in at least once a year to see if I need to upgrade my own setup.
