While it pays to keep all your devices safe, it doesn’t mean you have to pay to keep them safe. Most security companies have some tools they offer for free, and that includes German security company Avira.

Below I take a look at three antivirus products that Avira offers for free, three antivirus products that will help you protect your PC, your Mac, and your Android.
