Kaspersky Security Cloud is a server-based option that mates regular antivirus protection with online privacy protections. For unlimited VPN data, you'll have to pay an extra $30 per year (inexpensive compared to stand-alone VPN services). Most of Kaspersky's antivirus products limit use of the company's Secure Connection VPN service to 300MB a day. It includes Kaspersky Safe Kids Premium (we've reviewed that separately) and an unlimited password manager, and costs $100 per year for five devices or $150 for 10. Kaspersky Total Security adds file encryption, file shredding and file protection in case of from ransomware attack. We've done separate reviews for Kaspersky Internet Security for Mac and Kaspersky Mobile Antivirus for Android, but you also get them with Internet Security and Kaspersky's other multi-platform packages. It adds a two-way firewall, anti-tracking defenses, webcam protection and the Safe Money hardened browser.

Kaspersky Internet Security covers three devices for $80 per year or five for $90. Nonetheless, we reckon it's the best Windows 10 antivirus software out there. It costs $60 per year for three PCs or $80 for five, a bit more than Bitdefender's comparable Antivirus Plus. It also protects against stalkerware, quasi-legal spyware that business partners or jealous lovers can use to monitor you. Kaspersky Anti-Virus is for Windows only, and its password manager is limited to 15 sets of credentials. They all use the same malware-scanning engine but differ on extra features. Kaspersky's Windows lineup offers the traditional Kaspersky Anti-Virus, Kaspersky Internet Security and Kaspersky Total Security programs, plus three Security Cloud services, one of them free. We still think Kaspersky software is safe for general consumer use, although it would create an unnecessary risk for persons or organizations involved with national security or critical infrastructure. We don't yet know whether the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the resulting economic sanctions on Russia will affect the operations of Kaspersky software.

We must mention that Kaspersky is a Russian company with many operations around the world.
