Additional Features in Kaspersky Plans (Compared to Kaspersky Standard)

    • Advanced tech support, including priority assistance.

System Requirements for Kaspersky Standard (1 Device)

• macOS: macOS 10.14 or later
• Android: Android 7.0 or later (for mobile protection)

Subscription Model

Kaspersky Standard is typically offered as an annual subscription, but prices may vary depending on the region, promotional offers, or specific retailers. Sometimes, there might be discounts or trial periods, allowing you to test the product before committing to a full year.

If you’re using multiple devices, you might want to consider a higher-tier plan like Kaspersky Plus or Premium for broader coverage.

Comparison with Competitors

• Kaspersky vs Norton/Bitdefender: Kaspersky Standard offers a good balance between security features and system impact, much like Norton or Bitdefender, but may be considered more user-friendly for beginners. For example, Bitdefender and Norton might provide more extensive web protection, but Kaspersky is praised for its solid malware detection rates and minimal resource usage.
• Kaspersky vs Free Antivirus Software: Kaspersky Standard offers significantly better protection compared to free antivirus solutions, which often lack advanced features like real-time ransomware protection, anti-phishing, or VPNs. Free solutions might leave you vulnerable to more sophisticated threats.
