How Useable is Your Antivirus

There are so many options on the market for an antivirus or security solution that you may not know which to choose. A good security product is not just about the antivirus protection but also about firewall protection, protection against cybercrime when browsing the internet, protection against ransomware, VPN protection against third-party monitoring and censorship, and so on. Usability is one of the most important criteria for choosing the best antivirus solution. A reliable security product should be easy to use both by knowledgeable users as well as casual users with little to no knowledge about security. That means it needs to:

• Be easy to navigate and provide you with an intuitive way of navigating through its various windows, tabs, menus, and settings.
• Be easy to use on devices with touchscreens. As the number of PCs with a touchscreen is increasing at a fast rate, more and more people use touch to control how the software works. For the touchscreen to work properly, a good security product should have large buttons, tiles, switches of all kinds, check marks and so on that are easy to touch with your fingers and not only with the mouse’s cursor.
• Be easy to understand. It is no good if you do not understand what every item and setting means, no matter how easy it is to navigate through a user interface. The offered configuration options should be easy to understand by all users.
• Provide you with easy to find documentation, just like any good product. What is the point if the available help documentation is hard to find?
• Give you complete control of how it works as though many people look for security products that do not require any particular configuration but there are also people who want to set every detail of how a security product works. A good security product must provide you with complete control.
