Kaspersky Antivirus Review

Kaspersky’s antivirus program has good malware detection rates. Its extra security features, including parental controls, file shredding, backups, a VPN and secure browser are also great additions. The software’s UI isn’t easy to navigate, especially at first. The interface, however, becomes user-friendly after a brief initial setup and there are a variety of options for customization which allow you to customize Kaspersky to your specific needs. Plus, the Timeline and Notification Center located at the bottom of “Home” allows you to manage important functions without having to leave the main screen.

The company’s image was damaged when it was accused in 2017 of working with the Russian government, and some countries had banned its software. The company has worked to regain its credibility, even though the accusation was not proved. It launched its Global Transparency Initiative so that users could be educated about its code, threat detection rules and data collection processes.

All Kaspersky subscriptions offer from this source real-time security for Windows, Mac, and Android devices. Certain plans also come with a dedicated antivirus app for iOS that provides automatic scanning and on-demand scans for settings, apps and photos. Some premium plans, like Total Security and Internet Security also include additional features such as an app locker to store and display your personal apps and parental controls.
