Serious Discussion Protection recommendations for Windows & Android

[stabo2855]

My AV protection is about to expire and I was thinking of changing. I want good protection but just didn't want to shell out a lot of money right now. Is there a way to protect my PC and Android for free or inexpensively, even if I had to use a couple of different services?

Thanks in advance,

I use F-Secure Safe with Simple Windows Hardening and Firewall Hardening. Choose a free antivirus like Avast with those two apps, and you'll be safe and secure.
For my mobile ( iPhone) I have installed NextDNS.

Hey same setup I'm using on my computer now, light and effective imo.
Don't use anything on my Android phone though, but I rarely download apps, less than 10 on my phone now, no social media either.

Get Bitdefender Total Security. It's a top-notch AV/AM. Supports 5 devices. Its web protection supports the most number of android browsers including supporting Ungoogled Chromium browser on Windows although not listed as a supported browser. I believe it suppprts chromium-based browsers, likely Brave too

Check out whether cheap discount still available here

Got mine recently and very happy with it for my Windows laptop and 2x android phones

I have an older PC but still works great. It's running Windows 10 home and I don't think can be upgraded to 11 and I'm okay with that. I'm currently using McAfee Total Protection. It covers 10 devices, so using it for all.
