Cleaner Karpersky Code Reader App

Theres also a separate QR code reader app for Android and iOS, and a battery monitor for Android.

Kaspersky offers those three levels, and one beyond the mega-suite.

Cleaner Karpersky Plus Additional Features

Kaspersky Security Cloud offers everything you get with Kaspersky Total Protection, plus additional features, along with platform-specific improvements the company calls Adaptive Security.

Pricing for the Personal edition is the same as for Kaspersky Total Security, 89.99 per year for three licenses or 99.99 for five.

Prices for this kind of cross-platform multi-device suite vary wildly.

You get unlimited cross-platform McAfee Total Protection licenses for 119.99 per year, for example.

Norton 360 Deluxe looks more expensive, at 99.99 for five licenses.

However, Norton comes with 50GB of online storage for your backups and also gives you five full VPN licenses, where Kaspersky offers no online storage and charges 4.99 per month to remove limits on its VPN.

At the high end 10 licenses for Panda Dome Premium will run you 274.99 per year.

Note that these are all list prices, and all are frequently discounted.

Only the master account can manage the parental control component, for one.

And while theres no limit on installations of the password manager, you can only have five distinct user accounts.

Kaspersky cut that offering in half shortly before this review, on the basis that few consumers made use of the 20 licenses.

Offering 20 licenses is very generous, even if people dont use them all.

In fact, if they dont use all the licenses they paid for, looking generous costs Kaspersky nothing.

If you just want antivirus for all your devices, you might consider Kaspersky Security Cloud Free.

This tool looks just like Kaspersky Security Cloud, but shield-shaped icon overlays identify numerous features that arent available for free.

Extensive Installation Kaspersky Security Cloud runs on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.

You get a security app (on all but iOS), a Virtual Private Network, or VPN, a password manager, and a parental control system, among other things.

To start the ball rolling, you create or log into a My Kaspersky account online, enter your registration code, and download the appropriate package for your operating system.

To extend protection to another device, you can log in from the device, send an email with a link to the installer, or (for mobile devices) scan a QR code that has your credentials baked in.

The password manager installs automatically the first time you try to use it.

The main installer adds the VPN component along with Kaspersky Security Cloud.

You still install Safe Kids separately, but that makes sense given that many people dont need it.
