Kaspersky Standard Original Annual License for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS

Best Price Guaranteed by Licensel.com, Invoice Included and Always Free Support

Available for 1, 3, 5 or more devices and in different durations: select the variant you need among those on this page.

Kaspersky Standard is essential antivirus protection for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS: it blocks viruses, ransomware, spyware and phishing sites with minimal impact on device performance. It is the choice of anyone wanting reliable defence without accessory features, with a single license valid across computers, smartphones and tablets. The license is annual and is delivered by email with the activation code.

Why choose Kaspersky Standard

An antivirus exists to stop what the user cannot recognise alone: an attachment that looks like an invoice, a fake update for a known program, a cloned site identical to your bank's. Kaspersky tackles these threats on two levels, comparing files against an archive of known threats and watching program behaviour to catch those never seen before.

Compared with the higher editions, Standard concentrates on protection and leaves out VPN, password manager and identity tools. For anyone using the computer for office work, mail and browsing, with no particular privacy or credential management needs, it is the right coverage without paying for features that would go unused.

What Kaspersky Standard is and what it is for

Kaspersky Standard is the entry protection in the Kaspersky range. It includes the real-time antivirus engine, ransomware defence, browsing control with phishing site blocking, the firewall and online payment protection, which opens banking operations in a window isolated from the rest of the system.

The license is multi-platform: the same activations are spread across Windows and Mac computers, Android and iOS smartphones and tablets, according to the number of devices in the chosen variant. Management happens from a single panel showing the status of each protected device and allowing an activation to be moved from one device to another.

How to run a useful scan without stopping work

• The quick scan is almost always enough
  It checks memory, startup and the folders where malware actually installs itself. It takes a few minutes and can be launched while you work.
• The full one is scheduled overnight
  It reads every file on the disk and on a large archive it can take hours. You set it once a week at a time when the machine is on but nobody is using it.
• Real-time checking is what counts
  It works on every file you open or download, and it is the real defence. Scheduled scans are there to find what got in before the program was installed.
• USB sticks are checked on insertion
  It is the setting worth keeping on: media passing between different computers remain a common way in inside offices.
• Huge folders are excluded with judgement
  Virtual machine archives, backup folders and project libraries slow the scan down for no reason. You exclude those, not the system folders.
• Slowdown is measured, not imagined
  If the computer seems slow, Task Manager says how much the antivirus is using at that moment. Often the culprit is another program, and switching the protection off solves nothing.
• Two antivirus programs together do harm
  Two programs checking the same file get in each other's way and can lock the system up. Before installing a new one you uninstall the old one, you do not leave it disabled.
• After an infection, a scan from boot
  Kaspersky can check the disk before Windows starts: it is the only way to remove something that loads with the system and defends itself from inside.
