Read the full McAfee review here (opens in new tab)īottom line: For stopping malware on mobile devices in real time, McAfee is a really good choice.

Also, on some devices, you may notice a slowdown because McAfee is pretty heavy on its resource use. After that, the price jumps substantially high to almost $150 per year. However, the under $50 subscription is only for the first year. Overall McAfee+ Premium is a good deal and lets you protect an unlimited number of devices. These programs also have parental controls for more family protection. McAfee+ Premium doesn't help you regain your identity, but there are other programs, like McAfee+ Advanced and Ultimate that both have additional identity recovery tools. McAfee will keep an eye out on the dark web for any of your personal information and will let you know if it is ever sold or compromised. One perk for using McAfee+ Premium is you get identity theft monitoring as part of the deal.

Read the full Bitdefender review here (opens in new tab)īottom line: With powerful security tools and impressive real-time monitoring, Bitdefender has enough to keep just about every aspect of your family safe while online.

But after using malware removal tools, Bitdefender will easily take it from there to keep malware off your devices in the future. In fact, most antivirus programs don't do well on existing infections.

The biggest is it doesn't do well if your computer is already infected with malware.

There are some problems with using Bitdefender. But it's enough to shield you when doing your most important business online. However, you do have a cap on how often and how long you can use it each day.

You also get a VPN with Bitdefender, which is a pretty good and reliable one. There are extra protections so keyloggers can't watch what you're typing and steal your credentials that way. Bitdefender also includes a password manager to help you remember login credentials and create passwords that are hard for snoops to decipher.
