In independent lab tests, the program consistently receives high marks for its features such as malware protection and password management as well as a secure browser and privacy boosters. Its phishing defense uses next-generation AI and a network that consists of hundreds of thousands of sensors, to identify websites that try to obtain personal information from users or gain access to their devices.
