WHAT TO BUY?
This page provides daily updates on top-rated computer products and software based on reviews from PCmag.com and PCper.com. All products in bold are Editors’ Choices, rated 4 to 5 stars. Honorable mentions, also rated Excellent, are included. PCper.com ratings are in order Editors' Choice, Gold and Silver Awards. Products no longer in stock are removed. Companies with PCmag.com’s Readers’ Choice awards are also mentioned.
Please don't hesitate to chat with me if you have any questions about this list or if I missed a category of products you want and I will put it on the list if reviewed by these 2 sites.
Note: This page is for informational purposes only. I do NOT sell any computer products mentioned here and I receive absolutely nothing from these companies. All the price brackets are in Canadian dollars.
Even though PCmag.com and PCper.com tests many computer products, they can't test every product on the market and the manufacturers don't always send their products to be tested, so even if you don't see your product in this list, don't conclude automatically that it isn't good.

Antivirus for Windows: (Unless noted otherwise, use only 1 antivirus at a time)
Regarding Kaspersky's connection with the Russian government, here's new info from PCMag: "The US government has banned sales of Kaspersky security products in the United States. Kaspersky’s credibility with the US government has been in decline for years. As far back as 2017, the Department of Homeland Security directed federal agencies to stop using Kaspersky. Almost five years ago, the Federal Acquisition Regulation Council enacted a policy forbidding federal agencies to purchase Kaspersky products. Even bug bounty clearinghouse HackerOne, a one-time Kaspersky partner, cut ties with Kaspersky in 2022. Also, in 2022, we at PCMag stopped recommending Kaspersky’s products, though we continued to evaluate their efficacy. Well, that era is over. You shouldn’t buy Kaspersky products now. In fact, you can’t." That's why I removed their products from my list.
Free: Avast One Essential (4.5), Avast free (4.5) Note: It is very difficult to assess the performance of antiviruses. Each has their strengths and weaknesses and the test sites are often contradictory, so that's why I stick to what PCMag recommends, because it takes into account not only their tests, but also of all those on the market.
