What does security software do?

Security software protects your device against malware, viruses, ransomware and other online threats. Many plans also include features designed to help safeguard your personal information and online activity.

Do I need security software if my device already has built-in protection?

Many devices include built-in security features, but additional security software can provide extra protection and tools to manage multiple devices and online activity.

How do I choose the right security software plan?

Think about how many devices you want to protect. If it's just one laptop or computer, a single-device plan may be enough. For households with multiple laptops, tablets and smartphones, a multi-device subscription can be a convenient option.

Can I use one subscription on multiple devices?

Multi-device coverage makes it easier to protect laptops, tablets, and smartphones under a single plan, which is practical for families. Check the product details to see how many devices are supported and for how long.

Why should I keep my security software up to date?

Regular updates keep your protection current, so your devices are better equipped to handle new and emerging online threats.

How long does a security software subscription last?

Subscription lengths vary by product, with options ranging from 12 months to several years. Choose a licence length that best suits your needs.

Can I use security software on my phone and tablet?

Yes. Mobile security software can help protect smartphones and tablets from online threats while you browse, shop, or use apps on the go.

What's the best security software for families?

If you're protecting multiple devices around the home, look for plans that cover several users or devices under a single subscription. This can make managing protection simpler and more cost-effective.

What's the difference between antivirus and internet security software?

Antivirus software focuses on detecting and removing viruses and malware, while internet security software may also protect activities such as web browsing, online shopping, and banking.
