Kaspersky Security for Mac vs Kaspersky Virus Scanner from Mac Appstore

0

In the Mac Appstore you can find Kaspersky Virus Scanner for €9. On the Kaspersky website, you'll find Kaspersky Security for Mac, for $60. What is the difference between those two, except the price of course?

If i were to choose between the two - I would choose the Kaspersky Virus Scanner & combine with a free alternative such as Sophos http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-antivirus-for-mac-home-edition.aspx

This is an extract from the product's page on Kaspersky's website:

However, Mac users who want even higher security levels for their computers can choose Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Mac 2011, with its robust anti-malware protection, on-schedule scanning, instantaneous updates and use of Kaspersky Security Network’s cloud protection.

As far as I can see, the Mac App Store version allows you to perform on demand scans only, whereas the standard version should provide real-time protection as well.
