We have recently published the list of recommended free antivirus suites. All recommended free antivirus suites are poorer versions of their commercial counterparts, with some exceptions. Of course they don’t provide as good protection as specialized solutions. In this summary, we have developed a list of recommended security suites which should be carefully considered by every Internet user. Developers of solutions from the following list of paid antivirus products for 2019 had to earn a good opinion and a graphical recommendation from AVLab. We recommend to every user solutions with at least a good rating. Differences between individual antivirus suites are sometimes very subtle, and occasionally so large that the choice can be very difficult. Notwithstanding a decision, in order to get to know all features of each application, you should at least try out 30-day trial version.

When selecting the best specialized protection solution for 2019, we recommend a cold calculation. If you have any question or doubts, we encourage you to take a substantive discussion in the comment section below.

Recommended paid antivirus suites of 2019 for micro-businesses and home users (SOHO)

Software had to meet at least one condition in order to be on the list:

We haven’t taken into account commercial software with a temporary promotion for “0 PLN”.

The following mini-reviews, general recommendations, and final assessment have been developed not only on the basis of the results achieved in various test categories.
