Dear Lisa Is there any particular reason that you looking to replace Norton 360 with Kaspersky? Do you currently have a server or are you PC-based? There are a range of products within their range and would like to understand your needs these prior to recommending one (or an alternative vendor if it suits better). I am a Brisbane-based ICT consultant and I am happy to discuss your requirements further. Please feel free to contact me via my website at http://www.cyberguru.com.au or call me on 0488 80 4878. Best regards and thanks Chris Chris Jeffery Proprietor/Chief Guru CyberGuru

Hi Lisa. Looking through the list of questions I just noticed your question from last month. In my previous business involvement I ran a Security Software company and am now a Business Development Exec for The IT Department in Melbourne. Our company recommends the Kaspersky product to our clients and I know from my involvement in the security industry that many other security software products do actually use the Kaspersky engine but under a different name. You may want to refer to Virus Bulletin as it is a un-biased industry review standard that all security products are graded. see https://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/latest_comparative/index You will notice that Symantec Norton 360 has not provided their software to be tested it was last tested in 2011. ( We can only guess what that says about the product) Kaspersky was developed and is owned by a Russian company and they are well regarded in the industry, on a side note: some of the best software developers in this field do come from the European Eastern Block countries. I hope this helps Alan Currie www.itdepartment.com.au
