About Good Antivirus Software
Plain guides to security software, with sources linked.
Who the site is for
This site is written for adults choosing security software for home computers. It is not written for children.
What we do
We publish general guides: what antivirus does, built-in Windows and Mac protection, free vs paid, fake virus warnings, phishing, ransomware, vendor pages, and a checklist.
What we do not do
Good Antivirus Software is the name of this site. It is not a security company, and the name is not a claim about any product. We do not sell or offer downloads of software, scan computers, show prices, rank or test products, publish test results, give technical support, or accept payment to recommend a vendor. We will never call you or ask to connect to your computer. When a vendor link is present, see the current price at the vendor.
How we keep it accurate
Where a guide cites the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), or Microsoft and Apple support pages about their own systems, we quote or summarize the page and link to it. Some CISA pages we cite are marked archived by CISA, and we label them that way. None of them endorses this site or any product.
Who runs the site
Good Antivirus Software is operated by X Enterprises, LLC, Bothell, WA.
