This article discusses the different levels of antivirus protection available and helps readers determine which level is right for them. It explains that free antivirus software can be just as effective as paid options in catching viruses and malware, but it requires users to be more proactive in their own safety. Paid antivirus software offers additional features such as VPNs, password managers, and identity monitoring, with higher-priced plans providing more comprehensive protection. The article suggests that a basic paid plan that protects against malicious websites and email attachments is a good starting point, and recommends separate services for VPNs and password managers for more control and robust features.
