It depends. If you’re on a budget, you can get decent protection for free, but if you’re serious about keeping your computer safe, there are a lot of low-cost, high performance cybersecurity tools out there:
Antivirus software. Norton 360 is my favorite antivirus for Windows. It comes with perfect malware detection rates, a secure password manager, a fast VPN, and many other things.
Password manager. 1Password is the most secure and efficient password manager on the market, and it also comes with some pretty unique features like a cool travel mode.
VPN. Antivirus packages like Norton include a VPN, but there are plenty of standalone VPNs that offer unique features that antivirus-bundled VPNs simply don’t provide.
Some people think cybersecurity add-ons aren’t worth the money — until they get hacked. Protect your PC before that happens! It’s not a lot of money!
