And the Backup and Restore feature is basically a free Dropbox account (Dropbox gives all users 2 GB storage space, so you’re not really getting anything with this feature).Īll that said, I still think Kaspersky Total Security is an overall good internet security suite. The free VPN that comes bundled with all of the plans only provides 200 MB/day, and it lets users connect to only one server (which is also the slowest one). The system cleanup tools are decent, but competitors like Avira offer far more options for optimizing a computer. I also like the Rescue Disc feature that disinfects computers infected with malware, the secure browser and virtual keyboard that make online payments secure, and the premium version of the virtual private network (VPN).īut I’m not too impressed with some of Kaspersky’s additional features. The password manager is ok, but it’s pretty basic - it doesn’t even have essential features like two-factor authentication (2FA) or dark web monitoring, which all of the top password managers in 2021 provide. I also really like Kaspersky’s parental controls, which I think are some of the best around. Its anti-phishing protection was pretty good at detecting risky sites.
Kaspersky has an excellent antivirus scanner and real-time malware protection - it caught all of my malware samples during testing.Īnd it has some great additional protections as well.
