Antivirus protection isn't optional nowadays. It can protect you from viruses, malware, ransomware, and even hacking. The best part is that it doesn't even cost a lot.

For example, right now you can get Norton 360 Deluxe for 5 Devices for just $49/year at Norton. That's 58% off its usual $119/year price. So why leave your devices unprotected for even a second longer when you can save loads on the best antivirus software right now?

Our favorite antivirus choice for features, Norton offers almost everything you'd need to stay safe online: a firewall, VPN, password manager, Wi-Fi scanner, hardened browser, ransomware rollback, dark web monitoring and parental controls. It also has great antivirus and malware protection that doesn't overly impact system performance, and covers mobile devices. During testing, we found it easy to use with a quick interface that highlighted the most-used options.

In our Norton 360 Deluxe antivirus review, we said it's loaded with security features, including file backup, a rescue disk, and scam protection. It's a mature and intuitive product that seems to plug every security hole possible.

What makes Norton 360 one of the best antivirus apps has to do with the added security protection it offers. You can do a quick antivirus scan, a full scan, and then a much deeper scan that runs during startup and before Windows loads. Ransomware protection creates a backup of important files — even the ones held in the UEFI (what used to be called the BIOS).

It has extensive features to help you stay protected from security threats that run the gamut from ransomware protection to botnet blockers. Plus, the price is reasonable compared to competing apps. That's even more so the case now that it's on sale. Just make sure to act fast as this offer won't last forever.
