Antivirus software keeps malware and viruses away from your computer. If you accidentally open an infected file or visit a compromised website, your antivirus will attempt to quarantine the malicious data and cleanse the system.

Some VPNs nowadays offer additional security tools to protect your digital life. For example, NordVPN has CyberSec, a built-in feature that flags malicious websites before they have a chance to infect your computer or mobile.
