Why is it good?
- 1st, it has simply too much features. Even a virtual browser that is only found in this Security Suite.

- Lastly, despite having so much features, its only a cheap $39.95(3 PC-1 year) while Norton is $55.99(3PC-1 year)
Why is it 2nd instead of 1st?
You must be puzzled, ZoneAlarm obviously has more feature than Norton; such as the virtual browser, download protection,etc. However, despite all of these features, it can be clearly seen that ZoneAlarm slows down your computer speed by quite a bit, especially during a full computer scan.However, this is a great choice for those that do not want to spend too much on a security suite.

Rank 3
Kaspersky PURE

- BackUp
- Vulnerabilities Scanner

Why is it good?
- 1st, the security suite introduces a lot of different features; with some that cannot be found in ZoneAlarm eXtreme Security and Norton 360.
- 2nd, it has a vulnerabilities Scanner so you need not go and download vulnerability test online.
- 3rd, it tests your program that runs in a virtual Sandbox(Like a virtual drive) so if Kaspersky PURE finds them to be malicious, it can stop the program from harming your computer.
Why is it 3rd and not 1st or 2nd?
Like ZoneAlarm, you can find a lot of features here. However, just like ZoneAlarm, it takes up a HUGE amount of computer space, causing the speed of the computer to slow down, to the point that it occasionally cause computer freezes. Also, its speed of detecting viruses is as fast as Norton, however, the computer scan is terribly slow. However its still pretty good compared to most in the market.
