Surfshark Anti Virus

Posted by danny1199

I have Surfshark and also Bitdefender. Do I need to renew Bitdefender or is the Surfshark Anti Virus sufficient to use instead?

A VPN and an antivirus do different jobs. Surfshark VPN encrypts network traffic; it does not replace Bitdefender's malware scanning and real-time protection. So do not treat the VPN alone as a reason to stop renewing your antivirus. Keep one real-time antivirus active (running two at once can cause conflicts), and compare the current Surfshark Antivirus and Bitdefender features for the operating system you actually use before changing anything. Which device OS are you asking about—Windows, macOS, Android, or iOS?

It's both windows and android. I assume then that if I keep Bitdefender I should turn off the Surfshark anti virus to avoid a clash. Thanks for your help.
