Installation is not too different from what we’ve seen in the previous release It is the same streamlined process that scans the system (cloud-based process), downloads the necessary files and installs them, all in one go. The suite is available for a $79.95 fee (subject to geographical location) for up to three licenses valid for one year. Total Security 2013 is the top of the line product for home users, the richest in features and modules, with protection options that transcend the digital threats, and with system optimization capabilities. Generation 2013 seems to build up on the foundation laid down last year and adds up a few more modules as well as a bunch of changes designed to increase usability.
