Norton 360 Deluxe looks more expensive, at $99.99 for five licenses. You get unlimited cross-platform McAfee Total Protection licenses for $119.99 per year, for example.

Prices for this kind of cross-platform multi-device suite vary wildly. You pay $149.99 per year for the Family edition, which lets you install protection on up to 10 devices, also the same as Kaspersky Total Security. Pricing for the Personal edition is the same as for Kaspersky Total Security, $89.99 per year for three licenses or $99.99 for five. This product comes in two editions, Personal and Family. Kaspersky Security Cloud offers everything you get with Kaspersky Total Protection, plus additional features, along with platform-specific improvements the company calls Adaptive Security. Kaspersky offers those three levels, and one beyond the mega-suite. Security companies typically offer protection at three levels: a basic antivirus, an entry-level security suite, and a mega-suite with additional features. Because we have not found or been presented with any hard evidence of misdeeds on the part of Kaspersky, however, we are leaving our original review in place for those who wish to decide for themselves. However, based on the increasing censure and criticism of Kaspersky by US government agencies, foreign agencies, and informed third parties, we can no longer recommend no longer recommend Kaspersky’s products.
