Security software works quietly in the background, so it’s easy to forget about it until something goes wrong. If you use it to keep your devices safe, we want to know about it. Does it effectively catch threats without slowing down your computer? Or has it earned a spot as something you can’t live without?
CNET’s People’s Picks survey gives you a chance to share what you think about products and services you use daily. During the month of October, we want to know which security software you rely on most to keep your devices protected. You can take our two-minute survey to share your thoughts on its threat protection, ease of use, impact on device performance, value and overall satisfaction. The top picks will make it into our roundup, so be sure to check in next month to see the winners.
Why we want to hear from you
How a security suite performs day-to-day and how it affects your device are things that only real-world users like you can give us insights into.
“Privacy and security services are constantly evolving to meet users’ demands,” says Moe Long, CNET’s senior editor for privacy and security suites. “Just as I — and likely many of you — value trust and transparency from these privacy and cybersecurity services, so too do we value your experience with software. We’re keen to learn about how you, our readers, protect your data and devices.”
Whether you’re using a free built-in option or a premium suite, you can help other CNET readers find protection that’s actually worth trusting by sharing your thoughts.
How to make your voice heard
The survey will be open through October and takes only a few minutes to complete. After we gather enough responses. We’ll crunch the numbers and publish a roundup of the winners that CNET readers rated highly.
