Your choice of a basic or advanced security suite depends entirely on what features matter to you, and what you're willing to pay for them. And for a mega-suite review, we focus on the advanced features, referring to the entry-level suite review for features shared by both. In our review of the entry-level suite, we summarize results from the antivirus review and dig deeper into the suite-specific features. When a new product line comes out, we start by reviewing the antivirus. The advanced 'mega-suite' typically adds a backup component and some form of system tune-up utility, and some also add password management, a VPN, or other security extras. Most entry-level suites include antivirus, firewall, antispam, and parental control. Most security companies offer at least three levels of security products, a standalone antivirus utility, an entry-level security suite, and an advanced suite with additional features. If you want more details on the torture tests we perform on every product we review, please read the full explanation of how we test security software. This article briefly mentions the many tests we use to evaluate security suites and determine which are the best. We're sharing the top suites we've tested here, along with that makes them unique and how they can work for you. Just which of these security juggernauts should you choose? We’ve reviewed nearly 40 different suites and pulled together the best, from simple entry-level suites to cross-platform multi-device lollapaloozas. Some security companies just add the most essential components to create a suite, while others rope in a huge variety of security elements. What a relief, to just buy a single, integrated package.

Go to the security suites aisle and find one that has all the features that you grabbed individually. Now take a good look at your cartful, maybe snap a pic with your phone, and put everything back on the shelf. Identity theft is utterly demoralizing, so grab an identity protection service. Spam filter? Parental control service? Those seem useful. Firewall? Yes, please! Oh, VPN is important, so your data is protected even when it leaves the computer. Let’s go shopping at the security market-grab a cart! Hmm, can’t have security without antivirus, so toss that in the cart. Best Hosted Endpoint Protection and Security Software.
