Best FREE Antivirus Protection for Windows 10 [Still Best in 2024]

🧨 Looking for the best FREE antivirus in 2024? Our TOP picks right now: 🧨
✅ TotalAV ➡️ cnews.link/totalav-w10/
✅ Avira ➡️ cnews.link/get-avira-now/m6dq...
✅ Bitdefender ➡️ cnews.link/get-bitdefender_146/
🚨 We join the worldwide community in support of Ukraine and international sanctions inflicted on the Russian government. Cybernews do not tolerate the bloodshed, human right abuses, and allegedly Geneva Convention violations the Russian army has inflicted on the Ukrainian people and won’t stand in support of companies that might help enable it. To avoid any possible ties with Russian government funded businesses, we do not recommend using Kaspersky as an antivirus provider due to their broadly discussed close contact with the country’s Federal Security Service (FSB).
===================
Most free antiviruses hide important features like Firewall and Real-time protection behind a paywall… So let's see what level of protection you can expect from the best options. Not only these three provide a high-quality antivirus performance, but they are also free, some of them - free forever!
Best free antivirus for Windows 10:
=========================================
✅ Bitdefender ➡️ cnews.link/get-bitdefender_147/
=========================================
✔ Free forever
✔ Superb malware protection
✔ Sophisticated phishing filters
✔ 30-day free trial of all premium versions
=========================================
🧨 TotalAV ➡️ cnews.link/totalav/m6dq6NeLqKw/
=========================================
✔ Free forever
✔ A lot of features
✔ Low resource usage
✔ Easy to set up and use
✔ Fast customer support
================================================
💣 Avira cnews.link/get-avira/m6dq6NeL...
================================================
✔ Free forever
✔ Unique security features
✔ High-performance settings
✔ Comfortable to use
✔ Limited free functionality
In the end, free antiviruses with good functionality exist, with TotalAV being almost the best free antivirus. Avira is also a prime example of a high performance, zero cost antivirus. However, you won’t be getting the full protection with just the free version of an antivirus. I recommend you try those antiviruses for free, if they end up helping you - invest in the paid version, to keep yourself completely safe.

[@AF_Pereira]

Well, Kaspersky was one of my favorite antivirus, but a few weeks before Russia's invasion of Ukraine all my personal computers started to get slow and getting kinda faulty with unusual traffic to unknown destinations...So when I found out that it is a Russian company with alleged ties with the Russian's secret service I uninstalled completely from all my computers and installed Total AV, the weird behavior stopped immediately so for that reason, I won't install Kaspersky again, but it served me well for two years.

[@FarkyBeats]

@@FarkyBeats both, paid at work free at home.

[@FarkyBeats]

@@AF_Pereira Okay, I'am using free version and it's been a month now. I don't see any unusual traffic or that my pc is getting slower as you said. But anyway thanks for your reply and I will keep an eye on those. I will delete the app if that starts to happen.

[@garry_wshld]

Commenting as a Ukrainian: I'd rather trust a Russian free antivirus than any eu or usa antivirus. By the way you really think your android phone or ios cannot be accessed by special services? That's ridiculous.

[@AF_Pereira]

@@garry_wshld never said that, I perfectly know the riscs of using a smart phone, and it does not matter which OS we use, as long there's a possibility of having a Internet connection or any type of connected devices. But I don't believe you are Ukrainian, otherwise you wouldn't defend a company that works for the secret services of the country that is invading, destroying, killing, robbing (, etc....) your country. Also, if a product is free, the product is the user, this is common sense.

Kaspersky vs. Microsoft defender performance Downloaded the latest Kaspersky Security Cloud Free 2021 today (wondering if I want more security than MS defender). Network download speed (this is in a Virtual box Windows 10 (latest updates)): 470+ Mbps After Kaspersky Security Cloud Free 2021 install (Windows security referenced Kaspersky virus software as expected. ): 270-300 Mbps. Deinstalled the Kaspersky VPN (even though it was not running): 270-300 Mbps. Deinstalled all Kaspersky software: 470+ Mbps. Repeated 3 times. Conclusion? In the setup above Kaspersky does not offer enough additional protection to give up 170-200 Mbps of bandwidth. I can't believe that all Kaspersky implementations suck up all that network bandwidth, or nobody would be using the software. Maybe something with the Cloud versions of Kaspersky?

[@Naninacecchi]

Well, Kaspersky is allied with Russia's national security, and this started happening after the war started, it may be related.

[@jamemee8795]

In my experience windows 10 don't really need 3rd party security protection don't do it trust me just keep update your windows security that all you need should be excellent protection must better than 3rd party security protection
