Norton and McAfee are two of the oldest and best-known antivirus vendors, used by millions of people worldwide. Both offer similarly priced packages with antivirus, VPN and a password manager, so when choosing, look at the extra features and how many devices you need to protect.
Norton 360: backups and parental controls
All Norton 360 plans include antivirus, VPN and a password manager, plus cloud backup for Windows computers. The plans differ in the number of devices and extra features:
- Norton 360 Standard – 1 device, 10 GB of cloud backup.
- Norton 360 Deluxe – 3 or 5 devices, parental control and more cloud storage.
- Norton 360 Premium – 10 devices, parental control and 75 GB of cloud storage.
McAfee Total Protection: identity monitoring
McAfee Total Protection includes antivirus, a secure VPN, scam detection and identity monitoring – the program alerts you if your email address or other data appear in leaked databases. You can choose a license for 1, 3, 5 or 10 devices, and for 5 devices also for two years.
Those who want more can choose McAfee+ Premium: the Individual plan is for one person and includes unlimited VPN, while the Family plan covers up to 6 family members and includes parental controls.
Price comparison
Prices are those in the Software.lt store at the time of writing (October 2026), for one year, including VAT. Interestingly, products from both vendors cost the same for the same number of devices.

Which to choose
Choose Norton 360 if you want to back up files from your Windows computers to the cloud, or if you need parental controls for your children's devices. Norton offers these features from the Deluxe plan upwards.
Choose McAfee Total Protection if scam protection and data breach alerts matter most to you, or if you want a two-year license right away. A large family where everyone has several devices should consider McAfee+ Premium Family.
You will receive the license key and VAT invoice by email after payment, and you download the program from the vendor's official website.
