Kaspersky Premium

Kaspersky Premium is the vendor’s highest consumer security plan. It combines antivirus and anti-ransomware protection with privacy, identity, performance and family-safety tools.

The plan supports Windows, macOS, Android and iOS. Kaspersky’s global product page also lists Linux compatibility. A My Kaspersky account and internet connection are required for activation, updates and selected features.

U.S. availability requires special attention. The U.S. Department of Commerce prohibited Kaspersky from selling covered cybersecurity products to U.S. persons beginning July 20, 2024. Antivirus signature and codebase updates were prohibited after September 29, 2024.

The core protection layer includes real-time antivirus, anti-malware, anti-ransomware, anti-phishing, safe browsing, firewall protection and AI-powered scam protection.

Privacy features include an unlimited VPN, private browsing, webcam and microphone controls, online payment protection, data-leak checking and smart-home monitoring.

Premium adds an identity protection wallet, remote access detection, expert virus checking and removal, expert PC health checks, 24/7 remote IT support and Kaspersky Safe Kids.

The bundled password manager stores credentials in an encrypted vault and supports password safety checks. Safe Kids includes website filtering, screen-time controls, app-usage management and location features where supported.

Kaspersky offers region-specific annual subscriptions with different device counts. The official product page does not publish one universal price because offers vary by country, currency, device quantity and promotion.

A 30-day free trial is available in supported markets. The trial requires payment details, and a paid annual subscription begins automatically unless cancelled during the trial period.

Kaspersky advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee for eligible purchases. U.S. customers should not treat the public product page as an indication of current U.S. availability because covered sales and updates are prohibited.
