Frequently Asked Questions about Internet Security Software

How did NextAdvisor.com review Internet security software?

We actually used it. We signed up for the software, downloaded it, and set about surfing the web. We wanted to see how well it did with normal Internet use, but also how it dealt with threats. We visited websites that contained examples of phishing, malware, and other exploits. We also ran full system scans to judge time and performance. In order to bring users better data on malware detection and removal, we incorporated results from independent antivirus testing organization AV-Comparatives.

We only included internet security software providers that we believe offer a good value proposition. If there is a provider you know of that is not here, you can be fairly certain we did not rate that provider highly enough to include in our comparison. If you think we are missing a quality internet software security provider or have any other suggestions or comments, please visit our contact us page.
