Compare Pricing for McAfee Total Protection antivirus vs Norton Security Premium antivirus
McAfee Total Protection vs Norton Prices
McAfee costs less than Norton looking at April 2018 pricing. For similar McAfee and Norton suites here in Australia currently for a 5 device annual license, McAfee is A$119.95 discounted to A$45.95 and Norton is $164.99 discounted to A$94.99. You can see this in the side by side of snaps of the company websites today 5th April 2018. Norton does offer Tune-up and Backup functions included that McAfee doesn’t but that is going beyond comparing antivirus functions. At the end of the day, McAfee costs less.
I use McAfee products on my personal home systems. McAfee has a long history of being at the forefront of internet security. They have shown they can develop their defenses to meet the new threats to our security that appear every year. I’ve found my Windows systems are more stable using McAfee products compared to Norton’s but this may reflect my particular preferences in graphics cards and motherboards.
Protection against ransomware, which is an increasing security threat, comes with their malware and antivirus protection. McAfee has now left the Intel fold but carried with them a commitment to product enhancement. They’ve flagged deeper real-time activity monitoring as a focus.
Recommendation
McAfee Internet Security is great for home use to protect multiple devices. Use quick scanning most of the time.
