Kaspersky’s anti-virus software has excellent malware detection rates, and its additional security features (parental controls files shredding, backups and password managers as well as a VPN and a secure browser and many more) are a welcome addition to the other top products we’ve tested in our testing. The software’s UI isn’t easy to navigate, particularly initially. After a short initial installation, the interface is user-friendly. There are numerous options for customizing Kaspersky according to your preferences. In addition, the Timeline and Notification Center at the bottom of the “Home” screen help you manage essential functions without leaving the main screen.

The reputation of the company was damaged when it was accused of collaborating with the Russian government in 2017 and some governments banned its software. The company has been working to restore its reputation, despite the fact that the accusation was not proved. It launched its Global Transparency Initiative so that users could learn more about its code security, threat detection and processes for collecting data.

All Kaspersky subscriptions include real-time protection for Windows, Mac, and Android devices.

Some of the premium plans, such as Total Security and Internet Security, include other features like an app locker to keep and display your private apps as well as parental controls.
