What is Kaspersky?

Kaspersky is a cybersecurity company headquartered in Moscow, Russia, founded in 1997. Its consumer software, sold under Standard, Plus, and Premium tiers, includes real-time antivirus and anti-ransomware scanning, a two way firewall, safe browsing and anti-phishing tools, and online payment protection. Higher tiers add a VPN, password manager, data leak checking, and identity protection tools, along with 24/7 remote IT support on the Premium plan.

In June 2024 the US Commerce Department prohibited Kaspersky from selling security software to new US customers, and existing US subscribers were transitioned to a different vendor's product in September 2024. Kaspersky continues to sell and support its software in most other countries. Its applications run on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, and the company offers a 30 day free trial alongside a limited permanent free antivirus scanner.

Plus

$52.99/year (first year, approximate)

5 devices

Adds VPN, password manager, and data leak checker.

Premium

$74.99/year (first year, approximate)

10 devices
