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.
