About MyAVFee
An independent publication explaining technology and digital security in plain language.
Our Mission
MyAVFee is an independent technology education publication. We write explanatory articles about cybersecurity, privacy, Windows security, and the consumer security software market, aimed at readers who want to understand how these systems actually work — not just be told what to buy.
We focus on helping everyday users build a clearer, more accurate mental model of digital security: how malware spreads, why phishing succeeds, what password managers and multi-factor authentication actually protect against, and how to evaluate security software critically rather than by marketing badge.
What MyAVFee Is
- An independent editorial publication covering technology, cybersecurity, and online safety topics
- A source of plain-language explainers written for general readers, not IT professionals
- A publication that discusses security software categories and comparison criteria for educational purposes
What MyAVFee Is Not
To avoid any confusion, we want to be direct about what this site does not do:
- MyAVFee does not sell antivirus software or any security product
- MyAVFee does not distribute software or provide software downloads
- MyAVFee does not provide technical support, remote computer access, or computer repair services
- MyAVFee does not sell subscriptions, provide license keys, or handle software activation
- MyAVFee is not an official or authorized support provider for any software company
If you arrived here looking for technical support with a specific product, or to purchase or activate security software, we're not able to help directly — we'd recommend contacting the software vendor through their official website instead.
Independence and Affiliation
MyAVFee is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft, Norton, McAfee, Avast, Bitdefender, AVG, ESET, Malwarebytes, or any other software company mentioned in our articles, unless an article explicitly states otherwise. All product names, logos, and brands referenced on this site are trademarks of their respective owners, and any reference to them is for identification and educational comparison purposes only.
How We Approach Comparison Content
When we write about specific security products — for example, in our antivirus comparison guide — the goal is to explain the criteria that differentiate products and help readers evaluate options themselves, not to declare a single "winner" or direct readers toward a purchase. We do not accept payment from software vendors to influence article content or rankings, and our articles do not contain affiliate links, software download links, or purchase buttons. See our Editorial Policy for more detail on how we handle product information and potential conflicts of interest.
Corrections and Feedback
We take factual accuracy seriously. If you find an error in an article, or a claim you believe needs updating, please see our Corrections Policy for how to report it, or reach us directly through our Contact page.
