Frequently asked questions

Is Norton or TotalAV better?

You get more features with Norton 360 Deluxe—all backed by a 60-day money back guarantee. Plus, Norton 360 Deluxe won multiple awards 2023-24, including the SE Labs award for Best Home Anti-Malware 2023, Best antivirus: Tom's Guide Awards 2023, and PCMag Best Brands for 2024.

What is cheaper: Norton or TotalAV?

Norton and TotalAV have multiple plans. For the above comparison between Norton 360 Deluxe and TotalAV Internet Security, the prices are comparable to one another.

Do I need both Norton and TotalAV?

No. Security software is designed to work independently on a computer, and multiple security solutions on a single computer aren't generally recommended.

Can Norton and TotalAV run together?

It's not advisable to have two or more security solutions, like Norton and TotalAV, installed on a single computer. Running multiple antivirus components simultaneously can cause scans to take as much as 10 times longer than usual, and running two anti-spyware products can cause up to a 40% increase in scan time.
