Use the download offered for your account, device and region. Avoid choosing an installer just because its filename includes “Kaspersky”: start from the official account portal or vendor instructions. Your subscription and operating system determine which application is appropriate.
Before you begin
- Check the operating-system requirements for the exact product.
- Keep your account email and subscription details available.
- Save open work before starting an installation that may request a restart.
THE WALKTHROUGH
Follow these steps
Find the subscription in your account
In My Kaspersky, open Subscriptions and select the purchase you want to use.
my.kaspersky.comChoose the available download
Select Download and the option appropriate for your device. Availability depends on the product and region.
Install the application
Open the downloaded installer or follow the linked app-store route. Read the setup prompts and complete the required steps.
Open and check the app
Sign in if prompted. Confirm that the expected subscription is shown and complete any requested updates or restart.
Based on linked vendor documentation. Screen labels may differ by version, language and region.
Windows and Mac are different installations
Use instructions for your own operating system. A Windows installer will not install the macOS application. Permission prompts, menu names and supported features differ. When a setup screen does not match this overview, consult the help for your exact application instead of forcing a step from another platform.
Installing on a phone or tablet
Begin with the official mobile download route offered for your account. App-store availability and supported features vary by country and platform. Do not assume that an iPhone app has every feature of a Windows antivirus product. Review permissions in context and keep your device software current.
Moving to another device
A second installation is not automatically covered by every subscription. Review the available device slots before continuing. Keep the old device’s protection in mind when changing devices, and check the portal’s current device-management instructions if you need to remove an old installation.
COMMON QUESTIONS
A few things worth knowing.
Why can’t I download Kaspersky in the US?
Kaspersky states that downloads are not available in the United States and its territories. Consult the official regional information linked below rather than trying another country’s installer.
Does opening My Kaspersky install the antivirus?
No. The website manages the account. The appropriate application still needs to be downloaded, installed and checked on the device.
