Reputation

Surfshark is one of the most recognizable brands in cybersecurity today. However, it does not currently have a listing with the Better Business Bureau. The company has received numerous awards for its products. In 2021, Surfshark announced the company was merging with Nord Security, with the merger being finalized in 2022. The companies have maintained independence after the merger. In 2020, Surfshark became one of the founders of the VPN Trust Initiative.

Surfshark Antivirus 

Surfshark gets high marks for having an easy-to-use service available on all major platforms for an accessible price. Added features such as VPN and ad-blocker are added bonuses, although the lack of a standalone antivirus might not be to some users' liking. Its 30-day money-back guarantee means that you can try it to see if its right for you before committing to a yearly contract.
