The detection engine had a 99.1 percent blocked rate with zero false positives from 352 samples.įinally, we move on to SE Labs whose most recent report covers April through June 2019. The July to August 2019 real-world protection test from AV-Comparatives also saw Kaspersky highly rated. The detection rate for widespread and prevalent malware using more than 13,000 samples was also at 100 percent. In July and August 2019, Kaspersky had a 100 percent protection rate against 0-day malware attacks including web and email threats based on 368 samples.

The most recent results from AV-Test cover Kaspersky Internet Security 19, which uses the same detection engine as other Kaspersky products. Kaspersky is always a top performer for antivirus performance and the tradition continues. The Personal plans are still a little on the high side compared to the competition. The latter is tremendous considering most mainstream suites charge $100 to cover 10 devices. Kaspersky Security Cloud works on Windows, MacOS, Android, and iOS and comes in two flavors: Personal for up to five devices for $100 per year (there’s also a $90 three-device subscription), or Family for $150 per year covering 20 devices. There’s no denying Kaspersky Security Cloud is a good deal for families. Go there for details about competing products and how we tested them.

Note: This review is part of our best antivirus roundup. In our experience, it added a few new tools for the PC but is essentially an upgraded versions of the same multi-device products we’ve seen from Kaspersky for some time. The updated offering is billed as a new “adaptive security” suite that is supposed to act like a personalized multi-device umbrella across all your devices.

Kaspersky is back for 2020 with its new service, Kaspersky Security Cloud. The detection engine is excellent, performance is solid so it won’t slow down your PC, and it offers a wide range of extra features including extensive parental controls. Kaspersky Lab’s Security Cloud is a multi-device suite that takes the best of Kaspersky Total Security, adds a few features, and covers up to 20 devices on the family plan.

Personal plans offer less value than competing products.
