Bitdefender is among the most effective antivirus programs on the market. It has a more comfortable user interface and better customer support. It also scored better in independent tests conducted by AV Test and AV Comparatives.
Webroot SecureAnywhere, unlike most antivirus software programs, is a cloud program that uses remote detection for device security. It operates by scanning files and comparing them to the cloud database to identify potential threats. This method doesn’t have a large impact on PC performance and can be used with older software and hardware. Its security features include real-time threat detection, ransomware security as well as phishing protection and firewall capabilities.
Webroot’s dark user interface might not be as sleek and modern as the other alternatives but it’s simple and intuitive to navigate. The main screen shows the status of your PC and lets you run the Smart Scan or manual check. The left side rail houses all the major features and utilities that are grouped into four broad categories.
Avast is a more modern and minimalist user interface. Its main screen is simple and displays your PC’s current status and allows you to perform a Smart Scan or manual check. The left-hand side rail categorizes the most important utilities and functions into four broad categories, making it simple for new users to use.
Both companies provide excellent technical support and documentation resources. Avast has an online knowledge base that is searchable and has tutorials for various products. It also has an email form to contact customer support representatives. However, it doesn’t offer live chat like many of its competitors.
