Surfshark One makes sense for people who are shopping for a VPN first. One subscription covers unlimited devices and bundles Surfshark VPN with Surfshark Antivirus, which offers real-time protection, scheduled scans and webcam protection, plus Alert for leaked email addresses, IDs and credit cards, Alternative ID for a masked email and personal details, and newer scam protection tools such as scam text protection and an email scam checker. CleanWeb blocks ads, trackers and cookie pop-ups. Surfshark lists identity theft coverage of up to $1M for US residents outside New York State, and One+ adds Incogni data removal. The tradeoff is depth: compared with ESET or Norton, the antivirus is one part of a privacy bundle and offers fewer PC tools such as firewalls or backup. Surfshark's pricing page showed local currency from our location, so prices are pending. A 30-day money-back guarantee applies.
