We are a relatively large team of cybersecurity experts with one goal: to bring you the most objective, useful, and down-to-Earth security product reviews. We test antivirus software, security suites, VPNs, and standalone tools like password managers, secure browsers, browser extensions, and more. Our reviews focus on safety, reliability, affordability, ease of use, and flexibility of each product. Here’s how the testing goes:
- We buy every single security solution. We never accept any free editions that could, potentially, affect our verdict.
- Then, we move on to the actual testing. Over the years, our experts have developed a series of demanding tests. They plant malicious samples, URL links, and ransomware to evaluate a program’s ability to detect and to eliminate any potential threats. The team also contacts customer support to see how fast and how helpful the agents are.
Finally, we check the free trial and the money-back guarantee. Most leading antivirus providers offer free trials of their products; refunds are also widely available and usually give the user up to 30 days to get a refund. We go through the process to make sure everything runs flawlessly.
