With the huge amount of threats lingering on the Internet, it is impossible nowadays to connect, browse and download files without an antivirus capable of protecting us both from human error (like clicking on links before reading them) and from the attacks that may reach us without us knowing it, like exploits that benefit from a vulnerability. Nowadays there is a great variety of antiviruses on the market, so it can be hard to choose which one will be the best antivirus for 2018.
From Windows Defender, the default antivirus included on Windows 10, to some well-known ones such as Kaspersky, McAfee, Bitdefender and Avast and up to some antiviruses we probably never heard of (and still they get the maximum grade on security tests), the variety of antiviruses we can find nowadays is huge. Because of this, we probably have had doubts many times about which one is the best antivirus and which of them should we choose to protect us from threats.
AV-Test is a German independent platform that analyzes the main antiviruses on the market and allows us to easily understand which of them got the best grade and so, which of them protect us better and which of them do it worse.

But while developers still haven’t found a solution for these vulnerabilities, the first pieces of malware capable of successfully exploiting this security errors are already appearing.
Mozilla keeps improving its browser by introducing interesting novelties. The latest one that we heard about today was the plan to strip the path information from the referrer when a user visits third-party sites using Firefox 59 Stable. The new feature is only available in the browser’s private browsing mode. This means that the information of the site where the click is performed will not be sent when visiting a third-party page.
