Best Amazon Exclusive

Why we like it

McAfee Total Protection offers some of the best virus protection benefits for the price of only $22.99, down from its usual price of $109.99 for a 1-year subscription. Not only that, but Amazon has partnered with McAfee to provide antivirus software for up to five devices with one house call for expert installation advice. The software also safeguards your identity and monitors up to 10 emails on the dark web. You'll also get to use a VPN so you can shop and check your bank accounts with additional privacy. Should you decide to make this purchase, you can choose from delivery via key card or download code.

Best For Families

Why we like it

If you need virus protection for your family or small business, look no further than Norton 360 Platinum's 20-device deal, which offers protection for up to 3 months. This software protects against malware, ransomware, and other digital threats that could promise your device's functions and security. In order to maintain protection, you must enter payment information prior to installation. The plan auto-renews, but you can cancel it in your Norton account's settings. The plan also includes dark web monitoring as well as alerts if any of your information may show up there.

Note: Norton plans start at $59.99 per year for one device. See their other prices here.

Best 5-Device Deal

The same protection for 20 devices is also available for up to five devices. For only $24.99, you'll get a VPN, virus protection, dark web monitoring, and 25GB of secure cloud backup for your most important files for three months. After this, your plan will renew, and you can change your settings, plan, or unsubscribe through your Norton account settings. You get all this for $65 off the regular price of $89.99.
