What is difference between home anti-virus and small business security?
For one, you can use them on more systems. Norton 360 for example, covers up to 3 PCs, while business products often start at 5 users and extend to 10 or more. They can also provide special protection for file servers, email servers, and Microsoft Small Business Server.
If you're running 5 or more PCs, then Kaspersky's new Small Office Security bundle looks like particularly good value. For $199.95 covers you for 5 users, increasing to $249.95 for file server protection.
Compare that to Norton's 360 consumer package, which is $129.99 for 3 PCs for a year.
Update: Norton has contacted us to point out that they also offer Norton 360 Business Edition. The cost for 5 user is $199.95 which includes 10GB of secured online storage, and thus makes it also great value.
Most of the big name anti-virus players have business packages, including Symantec, Trend Micro, BitDefender, F-Secure, AVG, McAfee, and Sophos. Pricing varies, but by way of comparison, Symantec Multi-tier Protection Small Business Edition will set you back $396 for 5 users for a year.
