Key Features
Here’s a summary of what Kaspersky Plus gives you. Some features may vary depending on the device/app version. usa.kaspersky.com+2Kaspersky+2
| Category | What you get |
|---|---|
| Security | Real-time antivirus protection, anti-malware layers, anti-hacking (firewall, anti-ransomware, protection vs cryptojacking), existing threat removal (for infected devices). |
| Privacy & Identity | Tools like unlimited and fast VPN; protection of payment/personal info; data leak checks; identity protection; anti-tracking features; secure browsing; protecting banking etc. |
| Performance & Device Health | Disk space cleaning, hard drive health monitoring, performance optimization (e.g. managing startup apps, reducing unnecessary load), a “Do Not Disturb” mode so that notifications/updates don’t interrupt you when watching, gaming, or working. |
| Other Tools | Features like expert virus removal; in some regions Safe Kids; app management; managing rarely used apps; cleaning up system clutter. |
What “1-5 Users/Devices” Means & How Licensing Works
When you buy a license for 1-5 devices, it allows you to install Kaspersky Plus on up to five devices under a single subscription. These devices can be any mix of Windows, macOS, Android, or iOS.
Example: If you have 2 laptops and 3 smartphones/tablets, the 5-device license lets you cover all of them. If you try to install beyond 5, you’d need another license or move to a plan covering more devices.
The period is usually for one year (though sometimes there are monthly or multi-year options depending on your location and offers).
System Requirements & Limitations
-
Operating Systems supported: Windows (recent versions), macOS, Android, iOS.
-
Internet connection: required for updates, some live protection, cloud-based features.
-
Account: You need a My Kaspersky (or similar) account to register, activate, manage the subscription.
-
Some limitations: If you’re upgrading from older products (e.g. Total Security, or Kaspersky Security Cloud), there can be limits or feature differences during the transition. For example, some VPN limits (like data per day), missing Social Privacy feature on some platforms, etc.
How It Compares to Other Kaspersky Plans
Kaspersky has a few plan tiers: Standard, Plus, Premium (or similar). Here is how Plus sits among them.
| Plan | What you lose or gain vs Plus |
|---|---|
| Standard | More basic protection: antivirus, some privacy, maybe VPN with limits, but fewer advanced features (no identity protection or as many performance tools). |
| Plus | Moderate-high tier. You get a lot of the newer privacy, identity, VPN, performance tools. Good middle ground. |
| Premium | Adds higher-end extras: more identity protection, special support (24/7 help), often more devices or broader coverage, sometimes smart home monitoring or remote IT support. |
