    Antivirus for Seniors

    Protect your computer.

    Windows Defender

    FREE. Built into Windows 10/11. Plenty for most seniors.

    Bitdefender

    $30/year. Top-rated. Auto-updates. Doesn't slow computer.

    Norton

    $50/year. Includes VPN, password manager, identity theft.

    Mac antivirus

    Macs have built-in protection. Most seniors don't need extra.

    Watch out

    Pop-ups saying “Virus detected!” are SCAMS. Real antivirus runs quietly.

    Skip these

    McAfee, AVG, Avast — too pushy. Many ads + upselling.

    Quick Tip: Click careful = no virus. Software helps but behavior matters more.
