Antivirus deal: World's best security software has up to 60% off the normal price

There are a lot of antivirus companies out there - all making lofty promises and claims. But in our latest round of testing, Bitdefender once again came out on top.

Its basic virus protection is absolutely watertight - that's a given - but it's all the extra features that really make it stand out from the crowd. And the good news is that Bitdefender currently has a brilliant offer to trim the cost of its three main packages.

The best of the best is Bitdefender Total Security, which currently has an almost ridiculous 60% off the standard price. That's a huge discount on complete online security for up to five Windows, macOS, iOS and Android devices and throws in some genuinely handy extras like clean-up and maintenance tools, Time Machine and even a VPN.

Don't need all the bells and whistles? You can pay less for Bitdefender's less premium antivirus packages - with the most affordable Antivirus Plus starting from less than $2/£2 per month - and still get excellent, easy-to-use protection against hackers, phishing scams and cybercriminals.

So weigh up your options from Bitdefender's three options below and pick the one that's best for your household.
