VPNs for ad-blocking Thankfully, there are great tools you can use to protect your PC against viruses and other malware, which pair well with free VPN trials and other free software. Windows Security, for instance, bundles a number of security features that include antivirus:

Virus and threat protection Account protection Firewall and network protection App and browser control Device security Device security Device performance and health

Free automatic updates and low use of system resources means it can happily run in the background until you need it most. There are also some surprising features for free software, including a VPN tool, password management, automated account checking, and personalised security alerts. Avast prides itself on being built on the largest threat-detection network, and it uses machine learning to protect against viruses. There are some other features like ‘Do Not Disturb Mode’ to stop annoying pop-ups during entertainment (including gaming), WiFi inspection, and automatic sharing and analysis of suspicious files to help all Avast users. AVG has a straightforward design so you know exactly what you’re looking at, and can be used to scan for more than other forms of malware, including ransomware. We also like that AVG AntiVirus Free can also be used to scan for non-malware PC performance issues.
