Best Antivirus 2022 (New) // Don't Buy Before You See This!

Looking for the best antivirus? These are the best antivirus for 2022 (official links):
🏆 1) Get Norton (70% off): thecyberlab.co/Norton
👉 2) Get Bitdefender (50% off): thecyberlab.co/Bitdefenderoffer
👉 3) Get McAfee (50% off): thecyberlab.co/McAfee

We have done extensive research and reviewed and ranked all the top antivirus software, so you can confidently choose the best antivirus software to protect the data, privacy, and identity of yourself and those around you.
We have ranked and rated each antivirus product on five key metrics. These are Features, Anti-Malware Protection, System Performance, User Interface, and Pricing.
For Protection and Performance, we have considered the latest independent lab evaluations conducted by reputable antivirus testing labs such as the AV-Test Institute and AV-Comparatives. Both of these organizations are well-known and highly respected in the antivirus space.
The cyber threat landscape is evolving each day, and cybercriminals are coming up with more and more sophisticated malware, putting your devices and data at a greater risk.
Stats show that the United States alone faced 540 million data breaches in the first half of last year. Most of those breaches involved identity theft resulting from malware attacks, and the affected devices lacked proper protection against malware and viruses.
To ensure your devices are protected against malware attacks, you need a premium antivirus suite. Unlike free antivirus software, a paid antivirus offers comprehensive and robust protection against viruses, ransomware, and other types of malware infections. Freeware lacks advanced features and only provides a bare minimum level of anti-malware protection, which may not be sufficient for you.
What’s the Best Antivirus for 2022?
Overall, Norton is our top antivirus pick thanks to its impeccable anti-malware security and a minimal system performance impact.
Norton also boasts one of the most comprehensive feature sets, offering tools that range from a simple malware scan to advanced identity theft protection features.
Overall, Norton’s 360 Deluxe suite is our recommended product. Given its highly advanced feature set, the package offers the best value for money. It covers up to 5 PCs, Macs, smartphones, or tablets.
👉 Get Norton 360 Deluxe here: thecyberlab.co/Norton
If you want a more comprehensive product with a full range of identity theft protection features, we highly recommend the Norton 360 with LifeLock Select suite (available for the US only).

Well, my recent experience is with Bitdefender. Program has some capabilities, but in the same time it does false reporting. And then you have to deal with support. And I can tell you, Bitdefender has no live person support. It will send you a bunch of automated spam, but not a solution. Think twice before buying it.

[@TheCyberLab]

Thanks for your comment, Torhu. 1 - Yes, it will scan your computer for viruses and malware (and remove it). 2 - yes, for sure. 3 - Bitdefender doesn't accept cash. You can buy it by clicking the link we have added in the description section of this video to get up to 50% off on Bitdefender. 4 - You should only have one antivirus at a time to avoid conflicts. Remove Avast and then install Bitdefender.

I've watched both this video and your video for the Best VPN for Windows 10 thus far, and I've decided to go with Surfshark VPN while dancing between Norton 360 with LifeLock Select (the one my mom's been eyeing for a while) and Bitdefender (the one that's caught my eye from your video). I know I'm going to have closer to 10-15 devices due to my family's multiple tech usage with multiple phones, multiple computers, and the sort (so probably closer to 20+ devices), but I'm also noticing that some of these Antivirus packages come with their own VPN. Would I need both VPN services or would I get away with the one that comes with the Antivirus? Any advice and suggestions are welcome, and I thank you (all) ahead of time. 💙

[@TheCyberLab]

Hi there, Thanks for your comment. Norton does offer a VPN as part of the LifeLock Select suite. So you can try it and see if it fits your requirements. If not, you can then go for a dedicated VPN.

Windows security recently got 6/6 rating on AV test. The best thing is it's free and it doesn't show irrelevant pop ups and banners. My personal choice is Kaspersky

[@shivamkrishn]

Here are my top list. 1- Kaspersky. (The best engine, it provides 99% protection. I've been using it since 2005 and my system never infected. The best feature is "Repair" when a virus is found rather than delete). Only one issue is the update thing is utter slow 99% of the times no matter how well your internet connection is. 2- Norton (The first one out there to support windows 10 officially. In my experience it has minimal system performance impact. However, the malware protection isn't upto the mark also if you're offline then a scan will be very limited) 3- Bitdefender (Too many great features which no othet av suite provide. However, in my experience I had too many issues with windows update after installing it. Exception list (whitelist) is a hit or miss many times. It's the most pocket friendly suit though. 4 - Windows 10 Defender (It's 100% free and recently been given a 6/6 security rating by AV test. The best thing is you won't even notice it's presence. There are no irrelevant banners and pop ups coming 50 times a day like in other AV products. 🙌🏻Thanks

@@shivamkrishn I agree with most stuff you wrote, but Norton #2? Seen several test videos where Norton failed miserably, bad ransomware detection, weak pup protection, overpriced heavily. Wouldn't even take that for free.

Thanks for you feedback. There are many features you can't get with Windows Security for the reason it's free.

Better get Mcafee as it's very best. I don't need Norton because sometimes it seems is top position and sometimes it failes to secure the top position. Bitdefender cost is high as main part is vpn needed for secure browsing. I also get 128 bit encryption locker that great. I choose Mcafee as I purchase now.

@@TheCyberLab considering only security is foolishness. It's about reliability, cost and features you get with Mcafee.

[@lelileli6090]

I use kaspersky, because it is good in terms of signatures. Also it saves my computer from a spyware attack from a single useless executable. 1 year ago, when i was trying to download Age of empires 2, i accidently downloaded other software that time. When i scan the the executable, kaspersky says it was clean. When i open it, it spams a lot of spywares. All of them is in the size of 1mb. But phew kaspersky saves the day again. I was so scared that i delete the file. But still i am in the progress of searching the executable

@dishy1939 Noton sells most of its products as auto renewable products to prevent a lapse in the service which can be attractive for the busy consumer and is also beneficial for the company of course. But if you don't want that you can see easily turn off your auto renewal. That won't affect your subscription.

I use MCAFEE total protection and to far as to say this is accurate however, mcafee full scan uses a lot of ram and lot of power from your cpu however this is the full scan and the fast scan doesn’t o anything, my laptop has a i310010 and 8gb ram so anything like an i5 processor with 16gb ram will have no effect on its performance and also for mcafee has the most chrome extensions and also has VPN but you have to have subscription enabled, you cannot use the VPN if u bought a one-time subscription, mcafee also has a vault to protect your files and also mcafee kids for your children. Overall mcafee is a good antivirus but it’s expensive depending on your budget

[@TheCyberLab]

Thanks for sharing such detailed review. McAfee VPN does come with autorenewal. You can enjoy 200MBs of daily traffic VPN per device with Bitdefender without the need for renewal.

[@Rai649]

I can say that this video is pretty misleading. I analyze malware, and test antiviruses, and I can say Kaspersky is the best. With it’s system watcher feature and application control, it does very good against 0-day malware. It’s system watcher feature also reverts any damage that ransomware has done to your files. Sure, it may be made in Russia, but that does not matter when it comes to protection. Norton is surely one of the best, but I wouldn’t say it’s #1. Bitdefender is quite buggy, as my friends who use Bitdefender have told me they were forced to use another AV because Bitdefender shut down completely. I think this video is more of an AD than a comparison.

[@Dmwntkp99]

I agree, I tested windows defender, and nortons/bidefender is O.K but the rest don't even come close, AVtest is also misleading with their narrow testing results. Kaspersky is the best resourse / protection / false positive / virus removal
