A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, plays a crucial role in protecting your online privacy and security. When you use a VPN, your internet traffic is encrypted, making it difficult for anyone to intercept or spy on your data. This is particularly important when you're connected to public Wi-Fi networks, such as those in cafes, airports, or hotels. Hackers often target these networks to steal sensitive information, such as login credentials or credit card numbers. Additionally, a VPN allows you to bypass geo-restrictions, meaning you can access websites and online services that might be blocked in your region. By connecting to servers in different countries, you can appear to be browsing from a location of your choice, enhancing your online freedom.

On the other hand, antivirus software is designed to protect your device from malicious software, or malware. This includes viruses, ransomware, spyware, trojans, and more. Antivirus programs provide real-time scanning of files and applications, constantly monitoring for any signs of malicious activity. They also offer protection against threats that may come through email attachments or malicious websites. Having antivirus software installed on your device is essential for detecting and removing malware, keeping your system and data safe from cyber threats.

When it comes to cybersecurity, using both a VPN and antivirus software together provides a comprehensive approach to protecting your online activities. While a VPN safeguards your privacy, encrypts your data, and allows you to access restricted content, antivirus software ensures that your device is shielded from harmful malware and cyber attacks. Together, they create a layered defense that enhances your online security, whether you're browsing the web, accessing sensitive information, or conducting business online.

Yes, Thank you for your quick reply.

I have a PC (windows 11) with Bitdefender Antivirus plus installed.

I have been advised that installing a full VPN does not require any further Antivirus protection.

I hope that clarifies the question.
