I'm a security editor, and this is the antivirus I would buy with my own money
People often have a lot of questions for me when they find out I'm a security editor, and one of the most frequent is "what kind of antivirus/security solution should I use?" And, since my household is in need of an antivirus software right now, I thought I'd explain what I'm likely to go with, and why. In our house right now, we've got three computers, two tablets, and three smartphones to cover at the moment, with Windows, Android, iOS, and a Chromebook thrown in there. That's a fair amount to juggle, and while I'm a security editor with over two decades of experience working for technology publications, my partner… isn't. So I need something that's going to work both for someone who is pretty tech savvy and for someone who is decidedly not. I haven't personally tested any antivirus software, but I've edited our reviews and I'm not unfamiliar with the in's and out's of how our testing procedures work. I looked at our best antivirus software buying guide and some of our reviews, as well as some other online references to think about what would meet our needs best and in the end, I think McAfee + Premium is what will work for us. One of the best reasons to pick McAfee+ Premium over other antivirus programs is that the package covers unlimited devices, which means that the eight devices I currently need to cover for my household – and any we buy in the future are all covered. Even after the first initial year, that means I'm paying roughly $19/year per device, which isn't unreasonable. Another reason I like McAfee as a choice for my household is both the variety of features, and the features themselves. McAfee + Premium includes two features that every antivirus package should include: a VPN and a password manager. A VPN helps protect our online activities, and the password manager is a must because I know my partner has a tendency to use some insecure password practices otherwise. We've both been caught up in at least a few data breaches, so the identity monitoring is a nice feature to have included. Ditto the personal data cleanup. As a security editor, I'm usually pretty savvy when it comes to current social media and text scams; however, my partner nearly fell for that toll road scam earlier this year, so having that as a feature is appreciated. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Other features I like having included are the file shredder, the feature to identify malicious websites with color coding, and the social media settings that identify where accounts could be better locked down for privacy purposes. In independent testing, McAfee scored 99.96% in March 2025 AV-Comparatives testing and a 6 out of 6 in AV Tests Jan-Feb 2025 report, which is great overall; however, there were also 15 false positives reported in the AV-Comparatives testin,g which is pretty high. Overall, I can deal with some false positives for a good antivirus performance as well as fast and reliable software. I also liked the multiple scan options, and that there was a full scan mode for every last file. Lastly, the fact that the interface is clean, intuitive, and easy to navigate is a bonus both because I like a nicely designed interface and because my partner is easily frustrated by a bad one and will quickly give up on it, which means I'll have to spend time sorting it out. Given that there's also a 24/7 chat and tech support line, there's a lot that McAfee offers here that serves my household when it comes to antivirus solutions. While there are probably other features I would use if they were offered, there are no features missing here, and I'm still getting all the protection I need for the devices I have. Most importantly, this is a software that can serve my needs as someone with advanced standards while still being functional for someone who wants entry-level involvement.

Apple iPhone faces major threat from Samsung
Apple iPhone faces major threat from Samsung originally appeared on TheStreet. The smartphone market hasn't seen many significant changes over the past decade. As a result, many are content sticking with their older Apple iPhones rather than upgrading to the latest models for what amounts to tweaks rather than overhauls. That's a big problem for Apple, because it means fewer iPhone sales and the risk of losing market share to rivals, including Samsung. According to data from Telemetry, the most commonly owned iPhone is the iPhone 13, representing 16.3% of all iPhones in use. That's pretty telling, given that Apple releases new iPhones annually and the iPhone 13 was launched in 2021. Samsung grabs market share from Apple Given the latest data from Canalys/Omdia on the US smartphone market share, Samsung's phones may have an innovation edge that's winning over more people. Samsung has launched foldable and flippable phones over the past few years, including its highly-rated Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Samsung Galaxy Flip on second-quarter smartphone shipment data, those phones may be helping it chip away at Apple's market share. While Apple iPhone shipments declined 2% year over year to 44.8 million units in the second quarter of 2025, Samsung shipments swelled 7% to 57.5 million phones. As a result, Apple's market share was flat at 16% while Samsung's rose 1% to 20% year over year. The global market share for the top five smartphone makers, according to Canalys/Omdia: Samsung: 20% Apple: 16% Xiaomi: 15% vivo: 9% TRANSSION: 9% "Many vendors are betting on a hectic launch season in Q3, focusing on topics such as AI, foldables and slimness, to reboot demand ahead of the holiday shopping season toward the end of the year," noted Sheng Win Chow, Senior Analyst at Canalys/Omdia. 'Samsung has refocused its strategy on 'smart volume,' aiming to profitably scale its mass market Galaxy A series while continuing to grow its premium models," said Aaron West, Senior Analyst at Omdia. More Tech Stocks: Analyst reboots SoFi Technologies price target after capital raise Amazon makes surprising decision to cut losses on recent deal Apple makes $100 billion genius move to skirt huge problem IDC agrees that Samsung also has an advantage in offering a wider selection of smartphones at more price points, including its Galaxy A-series of phones, which aren't as high-end as its S-series, but are less expensive. For example, the current A36 is much less expensive than the current S35 (the S36 is anticipated in 2026). Samsung A36 is $399.99 Samsung S35 is $799.99 'Samsung was able to consolidate its market leadership and outperform the overall market, achieving strong growth in the quarter driven by the sales of its new Galaxy A36 and A56 products,' said Francisco Jeronimo, vice president, Client Devices, IDC. 'These new products introduce AI-enabled features to mid-range devices, which has been effectively used in retail stores to drive sales, as more consumers become curious about AI.' Apple may have an iPhone problem Apple founder Steve Jobs was legendary for his "one more thing" product reveals at conferences. He oversaw a tremendous period of innovation at Apple that included the launch of the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. Since CEO Tim Cook took over, the company has made fewer big splashes, instead focusing on tweaks like better cameras rather than major instance, commonly considered major iPhone launches include the iPhone 6 in 2014, which had a larger screen, and the iPhone X, which had an edge-to-edge display. Certainly, there have been changes under the hood with more powerful chips, but nothing has changed dramatically enough to cause a massive rush by Apple loyalists to upgrade. The seeming lack of innovation contradicts Apple's long-time reputation for reshaping design and how consumers use and interact with their devices. This is most evident in the fact that Apple's iPhone looks largely similar to prior generations, and the company has yet to launch a foldable display like Samsung's. It's also evident in Apple Intelligence's features, which pale when compared to Google's Gemini, found in Samsung smartphones running on Android. Or rival AI chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT or Anthropic's Claude. Will Apple (finally) launch breakthroughs in 2026? Cook is more than aware of the perception that Apple is behind the curve in AI and smartphones. Recently, rumors swirled that Cook may open Apple's substantial pockets to make a splashy AI acquisition. Most reports focused on Perplexity, a top-five AI chatbot by market share that launched in 2022 around the same time as ChatGPT, and is run by CEO Aravind Srinivas, formerly of Google's DeepMind and Perplexity may have squashed those rumors last week when it made an unsolicited $34.5 billion bid for the Google Chrome browser. Google is the defendant in a Department of Justice antitrust trial, and some believe it will be forced to jetison its Chrome browser to satisfy monopoly concerns. The size of Perplexity's bid suggests that it would be too pricey for Apple, which has largely focused on small, bolt-on acquisitions. Its largest acquisition was Beats for $3 billion in 2014. Perplexity would likely cost tens of billions of dollars more. While the odds of big M&A have fallen, there's hope that we could see major product unveilings in 2026. Among the possible launches being discussed: A more robust AI Chatbot version of Siri for iPhones. An AI-powered desktop 'Robot' with a display and arm.
