Terms of Use

Last updated: 9 November 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of https://goodantivirussoftware.com (the "Site"). The Site is operated by X Enterprises, LLC, 18122 3rd Dr SE, Bothell, WA 98012 ("we," "us," or "our"). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

What the Site is, and what it is not

The Site publishes general information about choosing antivirus and security software. We are not a security company, antivirus maker, software vendor, reseller, or agent of any vendor, and we are not a technical support service. The Site does not scan your computer, detect or remove malware, sell or offer downloads of software, or run checkout on this domain. Nothing on the Site is a security alert about your computer.

We will never call you, ask you to call us, ask you to install anything, ask for payment to fix a problem, or ask to connect to your computer. Do not call anyone, pay anyone, or let anyone connect to your computer because of something you read on the Site. Anyone who contacts you in our name to do those things is not us. Any software you buy or install is from the vendor, under its terms.

Security information is general

Content on the Site is general information. It is not professional, technical, or security advice for your devices, and it is not a security assessment. No software, setting, or habit described on the Site guarantees protection from malware, scams, or data loss, and following our guides does not mean your devices are secure. Product features, detection methods, system requirements, prices, trials, renewal and auto-renew terms, and refund policies are set by vendors, and they can change. Check details with the vendor before you buy, install, or change security software. If you think a device has a problem, contact its maker or a technician you trust and chose yourself.

Prices, product claims, and the Site name

"Good Antivirus Software" is the name of the Site. It is not a statement that any product is good, better, or best, and it is not a promise that the Site will find the right product for you. The Site does not publish prices, rankings, picks, reviews, detection rates, or test results. Awards and test results on a vendor's page are the vendor's claims, not ours. The right choice for you depends on your devices, what your system already includes, the features you will use, and each vendor's current terms. When a vendor link is present, see the current price at the vendor.

Government and company sources

Where the Site cites the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Microsoft, or Apple, we quote or summarize the page and link to it. Some CISA pages we cite are marked "Archived Content" by CISA; we label them as archived and use them only for general background. Each source can change after we read it. CISA, Microsoft, and Apple do not endorse the Site, any product, or any vendor, and we are not affiliated with any of them or with any government agency. Describing a company's built-in tools from its own pages is not a statement by us that those tools are, or are not, enough for you.

Brand names and trademarks

Microsoft, Windows, Microsoft Defender, Apple, macOS, XProtect, Gatekeeper, and other company and product names that may appear on the Site are trademarks of their owners. We use them only to identify and describe those companies or products. The Site is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by those companies. A mention does not mean endorsement or equivalence.

Affiliate links

Some links may be affiliate links. We may earn a commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you while that remains true for the programs we use. Any purchase is between you and the vendor or seller, under its terms. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

Eligibility

The Site is written for adults. It is not directed to children under 13.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

use the Site in violation of any law;
copy, scrape, or republish Site content in bulk without our written permission;
interfere with, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site;
use the Site's name or content to impersonate us, or to present a security alert, support offer, or scan as coming from us.

Intellectual property

Site content, design, and text are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by law. You may view and share links to the Site for personal, non-commercial use. Quoted text from government and company pages belongs to its source. Third-party names and trademarks are covered under "Brand names and trademarks" above.

Third-party websites

Links to vendors, government sites, company support pages, and other websites are provided for convenience. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, software, prices, terms, or policies.

Disclaimer of warranties

THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY SOFTWARE, SETTING, OR PRACTICE DESCRIBED OR LINKED FROM THE SITE WILL PROTECT ANY DEVICE OR DATA, OR THAT ANY PRICE, FEATURE, OR TERM DESCRIBED OR LINKED IS AVAILABLE, CURRENT, OR COMPLETE.

Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE, ANY SECURITY INCIDENT, OR ANY PURCHASE FROM A THIRD PARTY. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100). NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE LIMITED.

Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your misuse of the Site or your violation of these Terms.

Dispute resolution; binding arbitration; class-action waiver

Please read this section carefully. Except for small-claims matters and claims for injunctive relief over intellectual property, any dispute about these Terms or the Site will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The seat of arbitration will be King County, Washington, unless you and we agree otherwise. You and we waive any right to a jury trial and to take part in a class, consolidated, or representative action. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable for a claim, that claim must proceed in court and not in arbitration.

Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to the arbitration section, exclusive venue for permitted court actions is the state or federal courts in King County, Washington, and you consent to jurisdiction there.

Assignment and change of operator

We may assign or transfer these Terms, and the Site, to a successor operator, including as part of a sale of the Site, without notice to you. After that, the successor operator takes our place under these Terms and may post its own terms. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent.

Changes

We may update these Terms by posting a revised version on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use after that date means you accept the revised Terms.

Miscellaneous

These Terms, with the Privacy Policy and Affiliate Disclosure, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Site. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
