Quick Heal Total Security Review
Graduating from a simple antivirus to a security suite gets you such added features as a firewall, spam protection, parental control, and more. The entry-level suite from Quick Heal has all the expected features, though they don’t all deliver top-of-class performance. An upgrade to Quick Heal Total Security, reviewed here, adds a nice collection of useful security features, all of which work as promised, though at a high price. While it is Quick Heal’s best offering, it doesn’t challenge Editors’ Choice winner Bitdefender Total Security for top security mega-suite. Bitdefender’s feature set is even broader, it gets great lab scores, and its pricing is more in line with the competition.
How Much Does Quick Heal Total Security Cost?
A one-year license for Quick Heal Total Security lists for $75. That’s not a lot, but several competing top-tier suites come in even lower. You pay $59.99 per year for ESET or ZoneAlarm Extreme Security, for example. G Data Total Security runs $49.95 per year, and you can take home K7’s top suite for just $35.
Buying protection for just one computer is less common these days, so most security companies offer discounted packs of three, five, or more licenses. Three-packs of ESET, G Data, K7 Ultimate Security, and ZoneAlarm come in below Quick Heal’s one-device price, and Trend Micro Internet Security is just over, at $79.95. As for Quick Heal itself, there’s no volume discount, so protecting three devices has a list price of $225.
It’s Surprisingly Easy to Be More Secure Online
Bitdefender Total Security charges $99.99 per year to protect five devices, and $109.99 for 10—the company doesn’t bother selling single or three-pack licenses. Norton 360 Deluxe runs a bit more, $119.99 per year, but that gets you five suite licenses, five powerful VPN licenses, and 50GB of online storage for your backups. Even at the current discount price of $30, Quick Heal would cost $150 for five licenses and $300 for 10.
Like other Quick Heal products, the lack of a volume discount makes this suite expensive if you…
