Here are the best Windows 10 antivirus programs to protect your PC.

One of the best Windows 10 antivirus programs on your PC will provide a world-class defense against malware, ransomware, phishing, and other attacks without draining your wallet.

Some of these programs include a two-way firewall to complement Windows, a secure browser for banking and online shopping, a "rollback" of files encrypted by ransomware, and advanced protection to stop phishing emails, malicious web links, fileless malware, or boot-infection sectors.

However, you won't get too much extra that antivirus software provides at a higher price to make people pay more. Only some of the best Windows 10 antivirus programs have VPN services or backup utilities, and no one has parental controls. Some do have unlimited password managers.

We rate the best Windows 10 antivirus programs primarily on how well they protect you from malware infections, how much they slow down your system and, frankly, how much you have to pay for what you get.

Since everyone has different needs, we also have tips on how to choose the best Windows 10 antivirus software for you at the end of this purchase guide.

The best Windows 10 antivirus you can buy:

1. Kaspersky Anti-Virus

If you want the best Windows 10 antivirus protection, Kaspersky Anti-Virus should be your first choice. No other antivirus software brand has matched its near-perfect record in third-party lab tests.

The company's entry-level package, Kaspersky Anti-Virus, includes up to three Windows PCs for $60 a year, or up to five for $80, though you'll often get half that for the first year.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus doesn't give you many of the extra bells and whistles you'll find with more expensive security suites. There is no parental control, the password manager only accommodates 15 entries and the VPN service is limited to 300MB per day. (You can pay extra to get that unlimited version.)

2. Bitdefender Antivirus Plus

If you want some extra features with one of the best Windows 10 antivirus programs, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus offers a lot of things at a low price, which ranges from $40 per year for one PC to $80 for 10 machines.

There's an unlimited password manager (Windows only for now), a secure browser with an on-screen keyboard for banking and online shopping, file shredders, and new web privacy software.

Bitdefender Antivirus Plus also has a VPN service, but is limited to 200MB per day unless you pay extra. And of course, there is no parental control. However, the program is easy to use, its malware detection record almost matches Kaspersky's and also restores ransomware and protects against malware and rootkits without files.

3. Norton AntiVirus Plus

Norton sells nine different antivirus packages, but we'll focus on the two cheapest here. Norton AntiVirus Plus protects one PC or Mac for $60 per year, but comes with a two-way firewall, unlimited password manager, backup software, and 2GB of online storage.

The next rung, norton 360 Standard, puts you in the realm of the internet security suite by adding unlimited VPNs, webcam protection, dark web scanning for your personal information, and 10GB of online storage. But with $85 a year for a single PC, it may be a little rich for some customers. Other brands include up to 10 PCs for that price.

4. Antivirus ESET NOD32

Compared to other best Windows 10 antivirus programs, ESET NOD32 Antivirus is like a street racing hot rod—lightweight, cheap, fast and effective, but with a little extra extra.

It has the smallest barrier to system performance of all the paid antivirus products we've ever seen, it eliminates malware with the best of them, and it has a unique price per device structure rather than making sure you pay no more than you need.

The ESET's additional features are under the hood. It scans the PC start-up sector, runs memory and registry for hidden malware and also blocks known malicious websites. But if you're looking for an easy-to-use item like a password manager, VPN, or firewall, you'd better look elsewhere.

5. McAfee AntiVirus Plus

McAfee AntiVirus Plus adalah penawaran terbaik di antara program antivirus Windows 10 terbaik jika Anda memiliki banyak komputer dan ponsel cerdas untuk dilindungi. Untuk $60 per tahun, Anda dapat menutupi hingga 10 perangkat yang menjalankan Windows, Mac, Android atau iOS, dan McAfee tidak keberatan jika Anda menambahkan beberapa lagi.

Windows users get file shredders, ransomware returns, firewalls, and protective browser extensions. McAfee AntiVirus, without "Plus", delivers the same features to one Windows PC for $40 per year.

McAfee malware protection isn't always the best in lab tests, but it has improved tremendously in the past year. The only major drawbacks at the moment are the very heavy system slowdown during active malware scans, plus the fact that you can't stop the collection of threat data from your PC if you choose not to have it.
