This category covers antivirus programs, internet security suites, business endpoint protection and network security licences and subscriptions, for home users and companies alike.
Our range includes over 5,500 products, mostly from Trend Micro, WatchGuard, Lenovo and Microsoft.
How to choose antivirus software
Purpose. Home suites typically protect against viruses, malicious websites and phishing emails. A business needs central management, so an administrator can see every device in one console and apply the same rules across the company.
Number of devices and licence length. A licence usually covers a set number of devices for a set period, such as one year. For a family, a multi-device pack is often more convenient than a separate licence for each device.
Operating system. Check that the software supports Windows, macOS, Android and iOS, because not every suite covers all of them. Phones and tablets often need a separate app or a different type of licence.
Extra features. Some suites include a VPN, a password manager, parental controls and ransomware protection. Pay only for what you will use, since Windows already includes basic protection through Microsoft Defender.
Network security licences. Firewall subscriptions, such as content filtering or threat detection services, work only with hardware from the same manufacturer. Confirm the exact firewall model and licence type before you buy.

Frequently asked questions
Is built-in Windows protection enough?
For most home users, Microsoft Defender combined with careful browsing is enough. A paid suite makes sense if you want extras such as a VPN, parental controls or a password manager. Businesses often need central management, which free protection does not provide.
How many devices does one licence cover?
It depends on the product: there are single-device licences and packs for five, ten or more devices. The number is stated in the product description. Count every computer, phone and tablet you want to protect.
What is the difference between antivirus and an internet security suite?
Antivirus software mainly detects and removes malicious code. An internet security suite usually adds a firewall, protection against phishing sites and other features, and some suites also include a VPN or parental controls.
Does a company need different protection from a home user?
Yes, a company usually needs business software with central management, reporting and server protection. If you use a firewall, it also needs the matching security licence. Home suites typically lack these options.
