Online threats are constantly evolving and increasing in number, including ransomware, malware, phishing, cryptojacking, and Remote Access Trojans. With Kaspersky's new plans, you can enjoy real-time protection against these growing threats, keeping your sensitive data and devices safe.
How could I find out that my computer is infected?
If your computer is slower than usual, it could be a sign of device infection. Malware, adware, spyware, trojan horses, and worms can put your sensitive data at risk. Other signs of an infection include pop-up windows and the automatic opening of unknown websites.
What is real-time protection, and why is it important?
Real-time protection is essential in antivirus software like Kaspersky’s new plans. It provides continuous 24/7 protection against online threats, monitors for suspicious files and programs, and detects and prevents attacks, without the need for manual scans.
What is the difference between free and paid antivirus software?
Free antivirus software may not offer adequate protection against advanced security threats like zero-day attacks, ransomware, spyware, and phishing attacks. Paid antivirus solutions like Kaspersky's new plans provide comprehensive and robust malware protection, preventing data breaches and identity theft for more peace of mind.

I went with Kaspersky because I heard it would be light on my resources. I thought I might sacrifice some protection – but this was not the case!

I feel like I get just as much if not more protection than any competitors offer. All while running very quietly in the background.

My husband and I have used Kaspersky for a couple of years now. We are both big-time gamers and this is the only product we've found that doesn't mess with our World of Warcraft play. It’s the absolute best!
