So with windows going to a sub for 365 and lumping in Microsoft security what do you guys think the best paid anti virus is for the lowest price and preferably one that has a vpn included if I can use it on multiple device that would be great to. I was using Microsoft security Friday and Saturday it wouldn’t allow me to open Microsoft security and would direct me to the app store after doing a bit of research I thinks it’s because I do not have a 365 sub. I don’t plan on support Microsoft I think it’s bull shit they went to this system with no email no warning no nothing. I hate paying for another sub but if it’s a reasonable price I’d be willing todo it to stay safe online I just refuse to support Microsoft anyone have an suggestions?
Hello,
There are multiple threads in this subreddit where this question was already asked. I would search for those. Otherwise, you can go off of independent lab results:

- https://www.reddit.com/r/antivirus/wiki/index/#wiki_understanding_antivirus_software_tests_and_testers

We also offer a list of vendors in our wiki. Any of those should suffice.
You can either have a good antivirus or a good vpn. I’d personally go with kaspersky with a good vpn provider.
Kaspersky got banned by the US.
That is not true. It got banned by the US government for government related operations simply because it has had ties to Russia in the past. It’s still one of the best if not the best antivirus out there. It has really great system performance aswell which makes it ideal for gaming.
I am sorry for saying it’s not true. I was not made aware that five days ago that the US did actually ban Kaspersky.
No matter how good it is, you cannot recommend security software that is suspected of being unsafe, it is totally illogical.
Its banned entirely in the US, not just for government operations. What rock are you living under?
Have you ever been on the sub? Many people recommend Kaspersky or bit defender I doubt that people would be recommending it if it wasn’t safe. There’s been no proven fact that Kaspersky has ever done any bad things. There have only been allegations not proof.
Sorry I didn’t hear the news. What a disappointment the government has been.
