Buy Antivirus – Protection for PC, Mac, Smartphone & Business

Reliable antivirus protection is the most important foundation for every securely run computer – whether a private PC, a business Mac, a company workstation or an Android smartphone. Ransomware, Trojans, phishing and spyware are everyday modern IT threats – and anyone working without up-to-date antivirus protection risks data loss, business interruption and considerable financial damage. At Lizenzindustrie you will find antivirus products from well-known manufacturers as verified licences – by email, at a price clearly below the regular list price.

All antivirus categories at a glance

• PC antivirus – Antivirus software specifically for Windows PCs and laptops – with real-time protection, ransomware defence, phishing protection and optimised performance. From simple single-device solutions to comprehensive internet security suites with firewall, password manager and VPN.
• Mac antivirus – Antivirus software developed specifically for macOS – because, contrary to a widespread myth, Macs are definitely targets for attacks. Mac antivirus protects against Mac-specific malware, adware, phishing and malicious downloads without affecting the well-known macOS performance.
• Multi-device antivirus – One licence, several devices – protect PC, Mac, smartphone and tablet at the same time. Multi-device licences are the most economical choice for anyone who wants to secure several devices on different platforms with a single subscription.
• Business software – Professional antivirus and endpoint security solutions for businesses – with a central management console, licence management for many workstations, advanced ransomware protection, email scanning and endpoint detection and response. For IT departments that want to protect and manage all company devices consistently.
• Android & iOS antivirus – Mobile protection for smartphones and tablets – antivirus, phishing protection, app monitoring and anti-theft protection for Android and iOS. Because mobile devices are now just as important targets as traditional PCs.
• VPN – Virtual Private Network – for safe, anonymous browsing on the internet. A VPN encrypts all internet traffic, protects you on public Wi-Fi and gives access to geo-restricted content. Many antivirus providers combine VPN and antivirus in one package.

If you are setting up a new computer anyway, you can save with the Windows 11 & antivirus bundle, which combines the operating system and security software.

Which antivirus do I need?

The right choice depends on your specific use:

For a private Windows PC we recommend a complete PC antivirus with real-time protection, ransomware defence and phishing protection. Bitdefender and ESET regularly achieve very good ratings in independent tests.

For Mac users a specialised Mac antivirus is advisable – because macOS-specific threats are not optimally detected by standard Windows antivirus software. Bitdefender, Norton and ESET offer good Mac solutions.

For several devices a multi-device licence is the most economical choice – one licence protects PC, Mac, smartphone and tablet at the same time.

For businesses dedicated business security solutions with a central management console are essential. ESET, Bitdefender and G Data are among the well-known business solutions.

For mobile devices Android & iOS antivirus provides protection on your smartphone – against phishing apps, insecure Wi-Fi networks and data loss.

Frequently asked questions about antivirus software

Which antivirus is best for Windows?

In the regular tests by AV-TEST and AV-Comparatives, Bitdefender, ESET and other established manufacturers usually perform very well. You will find the latest results directly on the testing institutes' websites – features and ease of use also count when making your choice.

Does a Mac really need antivirus?

Yes. Macs are not immune to malicious software – Mac-specific malware, adware and phishing attacks are on the rise. A specialised Mac antivirus adds real-time scanning and phishing protection to the protection features built into macOS.

What is the difference between antivirus for home users and for businesses?

In addition to the pure protection function, business solutions offer a central management console for all company devices, reporting functions, licence management and often advanced endpoint detection and response features. For companies with several workstations, such a solution is clearly recommended.

Does a VPN also protect against viruses?

No. A VPN protects your internet connection through encryption and anonymises your IP address – but it does not detect or block viruses or malware. For complete protection we recommend combining antivirus and VPN.

How quickly will I receive my licence key?

Usually by email within a few minutes of your payment being received. You enter the key in the program or in the manufacturer's customer account – activation runs via the manufacturer's servers.
