Surfshark Antivirus is part of the Surfshark One suite, combining virus protection with VPN, data breach alerts, and a private search engine. The antivirus detects malware in real time and protects your webcam from unauthorized access. The biggest advantage: unlimited devices at the same price. Ideal for families and shared households looking for an all-in-one security package at a top price. Pure antivirus protection is solid but not quite at the level of Bitdefender or Norton.
