The McAfee suite of internet security products has been my go-to source for internet security for over 7 years. Featuring a snappy interface, frequent updates, and an amazing customer service and support system, McAfee delivers a high quality enterprise level security product at a significant cost saving value to the user. It has been frequently recommended to my staff and my clients to provide their cyber security needs.

• A key strength is their proactive cybersecurity posture. That's not nearly as common as it should be, especially with the level of awareness of the scope of the problem these days.
• Another key strength is their global network. That level of visibility makes all the difference, in today's cyber wars where, and you can quote me: "When an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attack is just a matter of time, when even zero day detection is too late, radically different approaches are required if we are ever to win these cyberwars." That's exactly what Lookout has done, and continues to do.
• One of the greatest cyber risks in mobile is what every one uses - apps! Apps from Starbucks to Nordstroms to banking to the myriad of productivity tools we all use everyday to exceed our business/productivity goals. Now with the ability of threat actors to trojanized apps, those Lookout scans that don't require you to do any upgrades, and their proactive cybersecurity posture are business critical for everyone.

Lookout was chosen by T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T which many employees have chosen as their mobile network provider. From that standpoint, it made it a simple decision. Its cloud based technology gives insight across almost all mobile code in the world. Lookout identifies connections that would otherwise go unseen without deep investigation. It helps prevent cybercriminals from sneaking into mobile devices and that's the key component for any mobile security solution. MobileIron and other competitor solutions have a similar offering, but based on network provider support I haven't need to look into the competition extensively.

I haven't used Norton for a while, but when I did use it I felt that it slowed down my computer and had constant pop-ups, which were both equally frustrating and annoying. It was also very difficult to remove from my computer. Malwarebytes is a great, straightforward program I've used for virus scanning. It's pretty bare bones but I think if you just want something to scan for viruses it gets the job done quickly and reliably. In my opinion McAfee offers similar benefits as Norton but its more intuitive and doesn't impact system performance.
