Q: 🤔 What’s the best antivirus with a password manager?

Norton 360 is my top choice for its comprehensive malware and cybersecurity protections and its full-featured password manager. Both Norton’s anti-malware engine and password manager were outstanding during my tests . Norton’s password manager has all basic password management features plus some useful extras — like the automatic password changer feature that very few other password managers on the market offer. Norton 360 is also a great value, as even its lowest-priced plan offers real-time protection from all kinds of malware and includes cloud backup, a secure VPN, a firewall, a password manager, and more.

Q: 🤔 What is the best virus removal software for Windows 10?

Norton 360 Deluxe is my favorite virus removal program for Windows 10 — it has one of the best virus scanners on the market, with 100% virus detection and removal in my tests, and includes additional security features like a firewall, Wi-Fi scanner, VPN, anti-phishing protection, and identity theft protections. It should be noted that Windows 10 comes with a built-in antivirus (Windows Defender), but it only offers basic protection against some viruses — Windows Defender can’t protect your computer from cybersecurity threats like adware, spyware, ransomware, phishing, network-based attacks, or brute-force attacks. On the other hand, third-party antivirus programs like Norton have advanced scanning tools like machine learning, heuristic analysis, and behavior monitoring to detect both known and zero-day malware.

Q: 🤔 Do I need a virus removal app for my Android device?

Yes! Android devices have built-in security features, but those features aren’t enough to keep you protected against malware, data breaches, or phishing attacks. The virus removal software on this list all have excellent security suites that extend protection to Androids and provide a variety of really useful features to protect phone and tablet users. Norton 360 has a really good Android app that blocks all malicious apps before you download them to your device. Norton also comes with advanced cybersecurity protections, including anti-phishing, a Wi-Fi network scanner, and lots more.

Question 1

🤔 What is a keylogger and how do keyloggers get onto computers?

Accepted Answer

Keylogger malware is a type of software that secretly tracks a user’s keystrokes to steal important information like email account passwords, online banking details, and credit card numbers.

The main aim of a keylogger is to steal and transport a user’s data across the internet into the hands of cybercriminals who use said personal data to commit identity theft and other cyber-related crimes.

Keyloggers usually end up on a computer when users accidentally install keylogging malware disguised as a legitimate program — usually a program downloaded from a sketchy website or via a link in a scam email. But some malicious websites can run scripts and exploit users who don’t have proper web protections — discreetly installing keystroke-tracking scripts on devices.

All of the antiviruses on this list protect against and remove keyloggers from computers and mobile phones. Norton 360 offers an advanced antivirus scanner as well as additional features to protect against even the most well-hidden keylogging malware.

Question 2

🤔 Can an antivirus program detect and remove hidden keyloggers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all of the antiviruses on this list can successfully detect and remove hidden keyloggers.

These programs also offer effective web protections to stop dangerous websites from using malicious scripts to secretly install keyloggers onto a user’s system. Web protections are also essential for stopping fake websites disguised as legitimate sites from track keystrokes and stealing a user’s personal details, like online banking information and credit card details.

Norton 360 is my favorite antivirus with keylogging protections — it has the best anti-malware scanner on the market and comes with excellent internet security tools, including anti-phishing and malicious website protections.

Question 3

🤔 What should I do if I find a keylogger on my computer?

Accepted Answer

If you find a keylogger on your system, you should immediately attempt to remove it. You can remove even the most hard-to-detect keyloggers using an antivirus program that works against keylogging malware.

Once you have found and removed keylogger malware, you need to think back to what you have used your computer for. If you regularly bank or shop online, or if you’re always logging into online accounts that contain sensitive information, you need to change your online passwords immediately. A good password manager can help secure all of your passwords.

You may also need to also perform identity theft checks, which can be done using comprehensive antivirus software like Norton 360 with LifeLock Select (includes an identity theft restoration service, but for US-based users only), or TotalAV (offers identity theft tools for the US and most countries in the EU).

Question 4

🤔 What tools do I need to prevent keylogging websites from stealing my details?

Accepted Answer

You need an antivirus program that detects and blocks malicious websites. All of the antiviruses on my list help to prevent and block malicious keylogging sites from tracking your keystrokes, stealing your data, and planting keyloggers and other spyware onto your device via malicious scripts.

Some antiviruses actually include extra tools to prevent keyloggers tracking keystrokes, such as Panda Dome’s virtual keyboard — which is an on-screen popup keyboard that can’t be tracked by keyloggers, so you can enter your online passwords and payment card details without worrying.

Question 5

🤔 What’s the best antivirus with a password manager?

Accepted Answer

Norton 360 is my top choice for its comprehensive malware and cybersecurity protections and its full-featured password manager. Both Norton’s anti-malware engine and password manager were outstanding during my tests.

Norton’s password manager has all basic password management features plus some useful extras — like the automatic password changer feature that very few other password managers on the market offer.

Norton 360 is also a great value, as even its lowest-priced plan offers real-time protection from all kinds of malware and includes cloud backup, a secure VPN, a firewall, a password manager, and more.

Question 6

🤔 Are antivirus-bundled password managers safe to use?

Accepted Answer

All of the antivirus-bundled password managers on this list are all 100% safe. They use advanced encryption to protect all passwords and other data stored in a user’s password vault.

Many of the options on this list also come with extra security features, like two-factor authentication (2FA) and biometric logins to further secure a user’s data.

The Norton 360 package offers one of the most advanced antivirus-bundled password managers. All data stored in Norton’s password manager is secured by 256-bit AES encryption — the same level of encryption used by banks and governments. Norton’s password manager also includes a wide range of features — some of which aren’t even included in popular standalone password managers (like an automatic password changer).

Question 7

🤔 Can I get a free antivirus with a password manager?

Accepted Answer

Most internet security companies don’t provide free antiviruses with bundled password managers.

Avira does have a free plan that comes with a password manager, but it’s limited — it doesn’t let you analyze the strength of your passwords, it doesn’t alert you in case your accounts have been hacked, and it doesn’t check whether a website you’re registered for is safe or not (but all of these features are included in Avira Prime).

If you’re ready to invest in a premium product, you can try an antivirus and password manager bundle at a very low cost. For example, Norton 360 includes a password manager even in its cheapest plan, which you can try risk-free for 60 days using the company’s money-back guarantee.

Question 8

🤔 Should I get an antivirus plan with a password manager, or is it better to go for a standalone password manager?

Accepted Answer

All of the password managers on this list are just as good as most standalone password managers (Norton 360 even has an automatic password changer, which is rarely found in the most popular standalone products).

Plus, when you get an antivirus with a password manager, you’re getting 2 high-quality products at the price of 1 — this doesn’t just save you money, but it can also save you the hassle of finding 2 separate products, getting 2 different subscriptions, and dealing with 2 different customer support teams.

Question 11

🤔 Is it true that iOS devices don’t need antivirus software?

Accepted Answer

No, it’s not true! While iPhones can’t get “viruses” because of their built-in protections, iPhone users are still vulnerable to cyber threats like phishing sites, unsafe Wi-Fi networks, adware, spyware, and ransomware.

To make sure your iPhone is protected against all these threats, you should get antivirus software that improves on iPhone’s built-in protections. While all the products I recommend have good iPhone apps, my favorite antivirus for iPhones is McAfee — which comes with an app scanner, anti-phishing protection, an app locker, a Wi-Fi scanner, anti-theft protection, and lots more.

Question 12

🤔 What’s the best virus removal software for Macs?

Accepted Answer

The best Mac-only antivirus is Intego — it has excellent real-time protection, a highly customizable firewall, cloud backup, parental controls, and Mac optimization tools.

However, if you’re looking to protect multiple devices, including PCs and Androids, I recommend Norton or McAfee, both of which support all operating systems, are excellent at virus detection and removal, and have tons of additional features.
