There's no URL filtering here, for example, no spam blocking, no specialist banking protection, no password manager, no file shredder or any of the other security extras you'll often see elsewhere. There's a good reason for this lack of resource hogging, of course: Smart Antivirus is strictly antivirus-only, and even that is simpler than most applications.

It proved relatively lightweight by modern standards, with Smart Antivirus requiring less than 180MB of drive space, and its two background processes generally using under 60MB RAM.

Cylance does offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, but the EULA page (opens in new tab) suggests this is more conditional than usual, and you won't necessarily get your money back unless the company agrees that there's been a breach of its limited warranty ('the Software licensed will perform substantially in accordance with the Documentation provided by us in connection with that Software at the time of purchase.') We don't know whether Cylance will always use that standard when deciding to deal with a refund request, but it looks like they could, and that's a mild concern.

There's no trial for Smart Antivirus, unfortunately. That could mean paying a minimal $5.41 (£4.16) per year per device. Bitdefender Antivirus Plus (opens in new tab) is a relatively costly $38.99 (£29.99) for a one device, one-year license, for instance, but steep discounting means a ten device, two-year license is only $116.99 (£89.99), and just $162.49 (£124.99) over three years. This is good value if you're covering a single computer, not so much if you're covering multiple devices. The Family plan (opens in new tab) enables using Smart Antivirus on up to 10 devices for $99 (£76.15) paid annually, or $149 (£114.62) with the two-year option.

The Household plan (opens in new tab) covers up to five devices and is priced at $69 (£53.07) for one year, $109 (£83.85) for two. The Personal plan (opens in new tab) covers a single device (Windows or Mac), and costs $29 (£22.31) for one year, $49 (£37.69) for two years. Pricing options are simple, with three purchase plans varying only in the number of devices they cover.
