🎉 Cybersecurity 101 — Lesson 5 is LIVE: How Do I Choose the Best Antivirus?

The wait is over, legends — Lesson 5 of Cybersecurity 101 is now complete and live in the Classroom! 📺

In Lesson 4 I promised you we’d tackle one of the most common questions I get from people just starting their cybersecurity journey — and here it is:

🛡️ "How do I actually choose the best antivirus for my device?"

It sounds simple, but the answer is more nuanced than most people realise — and getting it wrong can leave you with a false sense of security (which is actually worse than no protection at all).

In Lesson 5, we cover:

✅ What antivirus software actually does under the hood — and what it can’t protect you from

✅ The difference between free vs paid antivirus — is paying worth it?

✅ The key features to look for: real-time protection, behavioural detection, ransomware shields, and more

✅ Why running multiple antivirus tools at the same time is a bad idea

✅ Our top recommendations for Windows, Mac, and mobile — tested and explained

✅ The one thing that no antivirus can replace (spoiler: it’s you)

Whether you’re protecting your personal laptop, helping a family member stay safe, or building foundational knowledge for your cybersecurity career — this lesson is for you.
