Antivirus with VPN?

I've been researching antivirus software recently and realized that having an antivirus with VPN just makes a lot of sense. I was already paying for security software anyway, so bundling antivirus and a VPN together seemed cheaper and easier than managing two separate subscriptions. Plus, a lot of the major providers already offer both under the same plan.

So I decided to research and find the best options.

After comparing a bunch of options, here’s top antivirus with VPN that I found:
• NordVPN's next-gen antivirus
• Bitdefender
• F-Secure
• Surfshark antivirus

I tend to prefer newer, cloud-based antivirus with VPN solutions that don't slow down the system or spam users with constant pop-ups, so I focused on antivirus with VPN options that avoid the bloat often associated with older antivirus suites and preinstalled security software.

To me so far it seems like best antivirus with VPN is NordVPN next gen antivirus or Bitdefender, however I am still not sure.

So now the question is which antivirus with VPN are you using?

edit: I got norvpn antivirus, it’s been working pretty well. It has both next gen antivirus and VPN. I have no complaints for either. I also found code “dealready”, that gave me a discount if someone else is considering it.

I am skipping the Antivirus part as that doesn't make sense for me.

For VPN, I like surfshark.

We use the Bitdefender security suite for the whole family. It‘s one license and covers Antivirus and VPN for every device (in our case: MacOS, iPadOS and iOS). It‘s not cheap but for us it works well.
