Is Antivirus Software Still Necessary?

Antivirus software is still a necessary evil in today’s marketplace. It’s effortless to take security software for granted — Microsoft Windows 10 ships with Windows Defender. Windows Defender is a quality product; however, Microsoft isn’t exactly known for antivirus software. For this reason, it is typically vital for you to have a full antivirus software package installed on your Windows operating system along with Windows Defender. With this in mind, not all antivirus software packages are created equal. 

You can get an antivirus with inferior performance and detection rates. Slow antivirus software reduces the overall performance of your machine. The irony is the main benefit for antivirus software is to prevent viruses from slowing down your computer.  Of course, another great feature of antivirus software is that it protects your critical data and operating system from damage or theft. Thankfully, there is an excellent resource called AV-Comparatives. 

Why Are Antivirus Software Reviews Helpful?

This neutral, third-party antivirus software review company regularly benchmarks and updates users on the latest antivirus software statistics. These benchmarks are beneficial when you are trying to decide what antivirus software do you want to use.  Many computers ship with an antivirus installed on them. It is either Norton or McAfee. while these two antivirus software packages aren’t necessarily awful, they also aren’t necessarily the best.

The comparison is made using the performance reports at AV-Comparatives. One other important note to make, never install more than one antivirus on a machine at the same time.  Multiple antivirus software packages significantly reduce PC performance and likely lock up or freeze your computer at random.
