About ProtectIQ
Independent Security Product Reviews With Transparent Standards
ProtectIQ publishes practical buying guidance for antivirus and VPN software. Our aim is to help readers compare products based on evidence, clear trade-offs, and current policy terms.
How Rankings Work
Rankings are based on weighted criteria such as protection quality, performance impact, transparency, support quality, and value. Scores are editorial ratings, not guarantees of identical outcomes.
When We Update
Pages are updated when pricing, plan structure, audit status, feature coverage, or policy terms materially change. We review reader feedback and correction requests as part of this process.
Commercial Transparency
Some links on our site are affiliate links. We may receive compensation from partners after qualifying actions. This does not automatically determine rankings, which use editorial criteria.
