Ease of Use
We want our antivirus app to be unobtrusive, and keep us protected with the minimum of fuss. In that regard, Windows Defender has a huge advantage, as if you’re running a recent version of Windows, it is already installed and configured.
Downloading and installing Bitdefender is straightforward, scanning your PC during the process. The interface is streamlined and easy to understand, and the Autopilot mode means you can leave it alone to get on with protecting you. To scan specific files, just drag and drop them.
AVG’s interface has simple indications letting you know if your PC is protected, and a big button to scan your system. It’s not as hands-off as the others, but installation is simple. You’re encouraged to install a browser plugin to protect you while online, but it tries to change your homepage and default search engine, which we don’t like.
