Which software is better Norton 360 or Kaspersky? Kaspersky is a very formidable opponent, it has been named antivirus of the year in 2005 by VAR magazine. People always wonder which software stands out from the rest.

Most of the time, no matter what they read online, they will go with something their family members or friends suggests. We will compare these two products to make your decision that much easier.

• Real time protection – While Norton 360 real time antivirus protection did the job well, the computer was slightly more sluggish than the one using the Kaspersky antivirus protection. Both programs found the same amount of malware, Trojans and viruses.
• Effectiveness – Norton 360 is a very solid piece of software, it is able to capture and remove almost all threats, no matter how deep into the system they’ve gone. Kaspersky is also very good at removing threats accurately and independently.
• Ease of use – Norton 360 has one of the greatest menus out of any antivirus program out there. It is very easy to use and everything can be found with a few clicks. Kaspersky has an expanded tree navigation, the menu is straight forward but some of the features are very difficult to get to.
