For someone holding coins on an exchange or in a software wallet, the threats that matter most are fake login pages, scam links and malware that quietly reads what you type or copy. Bitdefender Total Security covers those on four operating systems from one subscription. Its anti-phishing filter blocks pages posing as trusted sites, Scam Protection flags fake shops and scam messages sent by SMS or social media, and behavioral detection watches running apps and acts as soon as something looks wrong. It also lists Cryptomining Protection, which stops software that uses your hardware to mine coins for someone else. A password manager and Data Breach Detection help keep exchange credentials unique and tell you when an email address shows up in a leak. The Individual plan is $59.99 for the first year on up to 5 devices, which is the lowest per-device price among the full suites here. The VPN is limited to 200 MB per day per device, and the price rises at renewal.
