The displayed score is an editorial rating, not a new measured detection percentage. Judge protection using dated, independent tests for the specific operating system and product version. No security product detects every threat.

Performance Impact96%

Scan speed and background load depend on hardware, files and settings. Try normal browsing, video calls and a scheduled scan on your own device before committing. This review does not claim a comparative performance benchmark.

Features

Surfshark Antivirus is available within Surfshark One offerings and supports Windows, macOS and Android. Surfshark VPN availability on iOS does not mean that iPhone users receive the same antivirus module. This distinction matters for a mixed-device family: count the antivirus-supported devices separately from the devices using its VPN.
