Latest Security Reviews

Panda Dome Premium Review

3.0

VIP tech support is the distinguishing feature of Panda Dome Premium, one that necessarily pumps up the price. If that support isn’t what you’re looking for, this isn’t the security suite for you.

Panda Dome Complete Review

3.0

Panda Dome Complete adds password management, system tune-up, laptop anti-theft, file encryption, and secure deletion to plentiful existing suite features, but its core protections are weak and some components are dated.

Panda Dome Advanced Review

3.0

Panda Dome Advanced offers enhanced ransomware defense and limited parental control not available in the company's cheaper apps, but its competitors have better protection against malware.

Panda Dome Essential Review

3.0

Panda Dome Essential includes all antivirus essentials and goes beyond the basics with some suite-level features, but its performance in testing doesn’t match its good looks.

TunnelBear VPN Review

4.0
Editors' Choice

Forget complicated apps and edgy graphics and let the cute-but-powerful TunnelBear VPN defend your web traffic. It's easy to use and protects your entire household with just one account.

Panda Free Antivirus Review

2.5

Panda Free Antivirus has an attractive user interface, but it lacks protection against dangerous and fraudulent websites and its test scores vary from excellent to dismal.

Malwarebytes Premium Review

4.0

Malwarebytes Premium is no longer as an assistant to your main antivirus, standing on its own with excellent scores in our hands-on tests and from independent testing labs.

Malwarebytes for Mac Premium Review

3.5

The premium edition of Malwarebytes for Mac scans for active malware and uses real-time detection to prevent infestation. It has a very good reputation, though hard data showing its effectiveness is scarce.

Opera VPN Pro Review

3.0

Opera VPN Pro is among the most affordable VPNs available, and tight integration with the Opera browser makes it easy for existing users to improve their privacy. For everyone else, better options abound.

Emsisoft Anti-Malware Review

3.5

Emsisoft Anti-Malware handles the basic tasks of defending against malware, including ransomware, and offers comprehensive remote management.

Malwarebytes Free Review

4.0

Malwarebytes Free does a good job of rooting out malware that got past your antivirus or that’s keeping you from installing an antivirus update.

IVPN Review

4.0
Editors' Choice

Although its collection of servers is small, IVPN offers a unique approach to multi-hop connections and a privacy-first account system in addition to affordable, flexible prices.

PC Matic Home Review

3.5

PC Matic Home blocks the execution of any program not on its allowlist, but you'll have to put up with it blocking valid programs too.

Private Internet Access VPN Review

4.0

Private Internet Access offers a robust VPN service with advanced network and privacy tools packaged into a clever interface, while unlimited simultaneous connections help justify its high price.

By Max Eddy  & Kim Key

Microsoft Defender Antivirus Review

3.5

Microsoft Defender Antivirus does a fine job of securing Windows 10 and 11 PCs that have no other protection, but it doesn't beat the best free or paid third-party tools.

Proton Mail Review

4.5
Editors' Choice

Proton Mail is an easy-to-use webmail service that brings zero-access encryption to your local message store and end-to-end encryption for message transmission, along with an impressive posse of related programs.

By Neil J. Rubenking

Bitdefender Premium VPN Review

3.5

Bitdefender Premium VPN offers split tunneling, 10 simultaneous connections, and an excellent app experience, all at a reasonable price.

By Max Eddy  & Kim Key

3.5

MacPaw’s free Encrypto tool quickly encrypts files or folders, creating secure packages you can easily share with others.

3.5

CleanMyMac Review

3.0

CleanMyMac has an unusual, colorful user interface and a wide range of tools to clean and tune your Mac. It removes malware with no fanfare, but it lacks features found in competitors and the independent labs don't vouch for it.
