Review Malwarebytes Privacy is a solid choice for a VPN if security is your primary concern, but its unreliable with Netflix.

Review Webroot SecureAnywhere is light on system impact, but also just light on ability.

Review F-Secure is barebones when it comes to extras, but as an thoroughbred antivirus it's hard to beat.

eScan is an internet security program that includes spam filters for your email. Because it isn’t a standalone antispam program, it’s missing tools like a Bayesian filter.

Panda Dome Premium gives you access to modules for Windows, Mac and Android, plus a VPN that is compatible with PCs and Android mobile devices. We found that Panda did a decent job blocking and securing against malware in our in-house tests on both PC and Mac computers.

Panda Security struggled a bit during our malware detection tests of the best antivirus software. It detected 97 percent of the 300-plus malware samples we used, but moving the malware to quarantine took several steps.
