Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - FACEOFF: Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 vs Norton 360 Version 3.0?

chieftain · 06-14-2009, 04:00 AM

My Norton 360 Version 1.0 is up for renewal shortly. I really need to know the bottomline... the final verdict on KIS 2009 vs Norton 360 v 3.0

I've heard a lot of good things about Norton 360 Version 3.0. But then again, Kaspersky Internet Suite looks appealing too...

I don't really need the 2 GB online storage that Norton 360 includes. So, excluding that particular feature, how do the two measure up?

Everyone I ask seem to have a bad opinion of Norton based on their past products (including Norton 360 v.1 & 2).

I agree Norton was a bit of a clunker of sorts in the past. But I would like to know if Norton 360 v.3.0 (the latest, lighter version) specifically is better than KIS 2009. I've narrowed my needs down to just these two suites. Its one or the other, whichever is better.

So, I ask you...
a) Which is the better internet security suite?
b) Does Norton 360 Version 3.0 have right-click/on-demand, folder/file virus scan functionality?

Help?
