In today’s world where cyber-attacks and malware have become so powerful, rescuing your computer should be your topmost priority. Spyware, Ransomware, Keyloggers, etc. are some examples of Malware that could destroy your computer in many ways, and eventually, it would have a negative impact on individuals and businesses. We are aware that Windows 10 allows the download of antivirus without hassle unlike the older Windows 7. Also, you do not need to be always reminded to install an antivirus program for protecting your system. But have you ever thought that the FREE antivirus software is not enough to protect your computer in today’s always-connected world? You definitely need PAID antivirus software for extra security.
Well, if you have not considered it then we have a few points to make you think about it:
You will surely get at least a minimum quality of service
When you get something for free, you surely hesitate before complaining about it, don’t you? Even if you gather all the strength and complain about the services that you got for free, there are chances the vendor won’t listen to you. Only those who pay for the services get updates and fixes briskly, and then you realize the need of getting paid services. However, you always have the option to get a free trial first like in Bitdefender, which gives you 30 days no-commitment free trial. After the free trial, it would be all your decision whether to purchase the software or not. Therefore, paying a little is worth saving the life of your computer.
Paid antivirus software rescues your multiple devices
On one hand, free antivirus software merely rescues your single device, while on other, if you pay for it, you can rescue your multiple devices. For example – if you use The Bitdefender Box 2, you will be able to protect unlimited devices connected to your wired/wireless network. Also, the number of downloads will be unlimited and yes, this one is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, isn’t it treat to the ears? You can install and set up this software for FREE. However, only paid users can enjoy its amazing features like excellent connectivity and souped-up hardware.
You don’t need to worry about the management
Managing your mobile phones, computers and other devices from strange hackers is really a tough task. But, this stress flees away once you pay for antivirus services. Many companies have these amazing management packages where you can manage all your devices together. Cybercriminals search for unprotected devices, and if you protect all of your devices, they will simply have no option but to accept their defeat. But remember, you CANNOT get this provision if you opt for unpaid antivirus software.
Pay a little more and get unlimited features
When you opt for FREE antivirus software, all you get it just protection against viruses (sometimes not even this). Whereas, when you decide to pay for it, you get a bunch of features to enjoy. These features involve – a VPN, parental control (most important for this generation), a firewall, password manager, ransomware protection, and whatnot. You do not spend as much as you get.
So have a thought about it and decide. Safety or little amount of money? And if you still want to go for free Antivirus, here we have the list of Top 5 Best free Antivirus that you can use in 2020 (refer).
