Black Friday deals worth signing up for?

After a relative for a bad case of malware, I’d like to up my security for 2925 including data removal, VPN, antivirus, etc. does not need to be an all-in-one happy to use multiple software packages.

I currently use surfshark for VPN and antivirus scanning. It’s not good.

Looking to upgrade, freer is better, but want quality too. This is for personal and a budding small business. I think I’m going to go with:
Bitdefender Ultimate for $80/yr - seems like the best all in one, include VPN which probably isn’t the best.
Or
Defender + Malwarebytes as a scanner (free) plus other VPN, etc

I’d love suggestions to add in vpn and other Internet security.
Thank you in advance

It’s a good idea to take advantage of them, especially if you’re desperate.
