Symantec has been in business since 1982 and has become a large company which focuses solely on security. They have the resources to keep up with new malware and virus threats as they emerge. Norton teams of security experts are constantly analyzing new threats and devising new ways to protect your devices from them. The confidence they have in their product is huge as Norton Security is the only software of this type (that we are aware of), which offers a money back guarantee if your device ends up getting a virus.
Features & Costs
Purchasing Internet Security and Anti-Virus software is a little different than most other software. You don't purchase the software outright since the software needs to be updated almost daily to protect your device as new viruses and other security threats are discovered. Therefore virtually all security software is purchased via a subscription which usually renews annually. Norton Security follows this model.
