Why you should go for paid antivirus instead of free antivirus

Free antivirus VS Paid Antivirus? Which antivirus is best for my computer. Here are some reasons why you should use paid antivirus.

(UPDATED 5 JANUARY 2019)

      I have been thinking about it lately. I was always confused between choosing a Paid antivirus and a free one. Many companies offer free Antivirus with ads and the same companies also offer a premium version of their antivirus. Why are they offering paid as well as free antivirus? Lately, some people also use pirated antivirus. Let's take a look which antivirus is better and why?

Why you should go for paid antivirus instead of free antivirus

Free Antivirus

First, obviously, it is free.  No free antivirus doesn't provide Real-time Security which is a priority in paid antiviruses.  It doesn't have the latest updated databases of the virus thus detects 45% less virus then Paid antivirus. No Anti-Theft Support. Anti-Theft is a security system in which you can remotely lock your phone when it is robbed. Anti-theft is usually not required in desktops but laptops and smartphones require anti-theft very much nowadays. No protection from phishing links. Phishing is a technique in which all you have to get a duplicate website link and whatever you enter in the website is sent to a hacker or a third party system and not the promised website. No Secured net Banking support. The secured banking system is a system in which your payment info is encrypted by 128-bit security before it transfers from your computer to server.

Paid Antivirus:

Paid antivirus supports all the features which are there in the free version. Additionally, It also has real-time scanning system in which the antivirus checks the files as they are opened by the user and blocks the files with viruses even when scanning is not active. This is the major plus point in Paid antivirus.

Other paid features include anti-theft support for laptop and smartphones, Secured Net banking, Anti-phishing protection, battery saver for laptops and mobiles. Paid antiviruses also offer secured VPN connections for paid subscribers.

Additionally, some antiviruses also offer features like malware cleaner which searches and cleans for malware, autopilot mode in which once you install the antivirus you won't have to do anything. It will automatically perform checks in the system, schedule scans, update databases.

Website scanners are also included in paid versions of the antivirus. They automatically check the visited sites and files before downloading. So paid antiviruses are always the best.

      Pirated paid antivirus is an easy solution nowadays. What people don't understand is the for making a pirated copy of an antivirus, a virus is installed in antivirus itself. Now, do you seriously think a virus installed antivirus can remove the virus in your system? Come on man. Use your common sense. Instead of removing the virus the antivirus itself installs a virus in the system so that the fake license may seem genuine and you may get to use a premium pirated antivirus. I don't think using such an antivirus will secure your system. Do you?

So arriving at the conclusion, Paid Antivirus is always the best.
