About AntivirusShortlist

What is AntivirusShortlist?

AntivirusShortlist compares antivirus softwareindependently. The aim is a quick, well-founded choice: each product is set against the others on price, quality, and how useful it is in practice, with a direct link to the vendor's own website.

How we work

• Products earn their place on quality and usefulness; the size of a commission has no bearing on it.
• Prices and features are read from the vendors' own pages and refreshed on a regular basis; what you pay often depends on your own situation, such as how many devices you cover.
• Ratings are editorial verdicts that weigh ease of use, features, the free plans on offer, and price.
• What you read here is general guidance meant to steer you toward a sensible choice, not advice tailored to one person.

The complete method, down to the data behind each position and the reason commission never changes the order, is set out under how we rank.

Independence and funding

There is no charge for using AntivirusShortlist. A number of links on the site are affiliate links, and a purchase made through one of them may earn us a small commission. The price you pay stays the same, and the commission has no influence on which antivirus software we recommend. The details are in our disclaimer and privacy policy.

Who is behind it?

AntivirusShortlist belongs to the Shortlist group of comparison sites, published by Orai Media, a company in the Netherlands that builds independent comparison and advice sites. The site is maintained continuously, with prices re-read and comparisons extended as the market moves.
