![]() ![]() Norton detected an average of 100% of malware from February through May 2020, ahead of Kaspersky's 99.9%. The two brands jockeyed for the lead in evaluations run by Austrian lab AV-Comparatives (opens in new tab) in 2020. (Norton's false-positive rate has been going down.) Only Kaspersky matched those numbers (and broke its winning streak in the same month), although Kaspersky's malware engine was arguably better "tuned" as it picked up only eight false-positive detections over that three-year period compared with Norton's 35. Dark web monitoring is typically included in credit monitoring or identity theft protection services, and it’s a nice bonus here.Norton detected every instance of known "widespread" malware in every monthly evaluation conducted by German lab AV-Test (opens in new tab) from January 2017 through December 2020. Its otherwise perfect winning streak against previously unseen "zero-day" malware was marred by a single miss in April 2020, when it got a 99.5% detection rate. Norton will scan the dark web for your personal information and notify you if anything is amiss-meaning you can catch identity theft before it hurts your finances. Norton 360 Standard also throws in some dark web monitoring, powered by LifeLock. That means you won’t have to worry about scrolling social media or watching Netflix on a public Wi-Fi network after checking your Gmail. Norton 360 Standard stands out by making its VPN access unlimited. Some brands, like Kaspersky, limit VPN access to 200MB of secured browsing, which is only enough to check a few emails and do some light browsing. It encrypts your data and keeps your online activity private, whether you’re using your home Wi-Fi or a public network at your favorite restaurant. A VPN (virtual private network) protects both your computer and your most sensitive documents. ![]()
