Clarification: Plus does not have the Identity Wallet shown the video, that is only available with Kaspersky Premium (since I had both licenses, it retained the feature).

[@II-ev2te]

@@Dishings It's the same product as all the other kaspersky paid products just a different user interface and some new features added but the virus detection is the same.

[@JohnKotsaridis]

The "Plus" is the successor of the KSC, the "Standard" is the successor of KIS and the "Basic" is the successor of KAV

[@alinalin7379]

A stupid AV product. After activating it few times the key no longer works, and it was paid for two years.

[@someaddictedidiot2186]

Where do you get your samples from?

[@ErdrickHero]

Wasn't Kaspersky compromised by the Russian government several years ago? After something like that they can never be trusted again.

[@Gjmaler]

Nova versão lançada hoje no Brasil, achei excelente e muito prática. Parabéns @Kaspersky. 👏👏👏

[@Chikowski102]

Translate to english

[@nguyenthphat]

their UI look so clean!

[@SchinTeth]

The UI looks good and i like the dark mode, as of the tools, if they re good i might use the cleaner for example but I m not going to use the other tools I think.

[@Maldroid]

The new UI is awesome. I love it.

[@thegamerdad2870]

I use Kaspersky personally and I'll say that I agree with a lot of the things discussed. The only thing that I wish the AV had was support for browsers other than mainstream, like Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. I used Opera GX and very few of the browser features are supported in it as far as I know.

[@Arush.]

I use gx aswell and I agree

[@themarine980]

Can you do a video about whether or not you can run NordVPN's threat protection alongside an anti-virus like Bitdefender? And from the description, Threat Protection sounds almost like an antivirus software by itself, even though they say it isn't. Can you go over the differences between that too?

[@SOMRIK_0x1]

What is the difference between Kaspersky plus and Kaspersky internet security and Kaspersky cloud protection free version?

[@ThanhTienOfficial11020]

Kaspersky - their product has a new version and user interface, I find it very interesting and like it, I am using Kaspersky small office security, manage more than 15 office computers, I feel good about it their products.

[@sherwinreacts7618]

features were great. any bugs on features. it is hard to put them in 1 product? will there be tons of hotfix coming? or is it tested working on defferent environments already?

[@lux1543]

That new UI and some features looks pretty cool, but it's only available on US and Canada... Will that product available in other country?

[@kuekejuu5057]

just a question : if i bought a code/license of kaspersky internet/total security, can i use it or migrate to a new plus or premium one ?

[@bitanchowdhury4028]

Leo, Can you kindly give some glimpses about its current detection rate ?

[@breakingthe4thwall260]

I like it they did a good job. only thing i would add is the ability to control how dark the dark mode is!

[@ZEROWTHREE]

hi, i have Kaspersky total security is the Kaspersky plus/premium going to the same job just with a newer software? ty, and good day.

[@bobanpetrovic2634]

Lets goo kaspersky test

[@nearlyinfinitetortoise8308]

Looking forward to the test. My norton expires in October and I'm thinking of going kaespersky

[@cypher0x089]

Doesn't Norton run crypto miners for them when your computer idle?

[@ApertureLabs]

​@@cypher0x089 Only if you opt-in. It makes you part of a mining pool and gives some of it to your wallet. But again, it's a feature that only enables if you create a wallet and opt-in to it. People make it sound like they just sneakily shoved a crypto miner in there.

[@Chikowski102]

​@@ApertureLabs I hate Norton antivirus it's a crypto miner

[@a.g8517]

great review

[@LinusTechT1ps]

I think many AVs will possibly transition from Total or Maximum Security tiers, to Free, Esstential, Plus, Premium, and (I doubt it but) Premium Plus. I use Bitdefender and the UI is fine, but hopefully they redesign it maybe if not this year, hopefully next year.

[@GersonHM4]

Hi there, can you explain how this new tier system is better? I thought the transition was only for marketing purposes

[@zenchan9266]

Dude i suscribed i really like your content and by you i decided to buy kasperky TS, Im from LATAM and i cant see kasperky plus, Do u know when will be available for global?

[@cpuuk]

[@CoolJosh3k]

Thing about a VPN though, is that it allows that company to see your data during the decryption step on the other end, should they wish to.

[@joesv6897]

Malwarebytes premium o kaspersky (Essential package), I'm new to this, which one do you recommend?

[@brokenchimp0]

So with this can you still control other PC's on your network via the web browser.

[@englandcalling9721]

Kaspersky Free, same platform as Kaspersky Plus, is also excellent, in pure malware protection it forgoes Intrusion Prevention and a dedicated Firewall, but all other modules are retained. In the last 4 months of use I've seen two pop-ups, one which was recently to notify of the dark mode update, so not even an advert!

[@MGSBESTProductions]

This seems like a great alternative to Norton 360. Thanks for posting a link to it

[@vipulvirus]

Kaspersky Plus and other new versions are not out in India. Wondering when they will come up. I have Norton subscription for another 9 months so probably cannot do anything

[@angelalmalaq]

what is good between " kaspersky end point for local pc home" and "kaspersky plus" ?

[@moderndaypoet2518]

With resizing the Kaspersky's UI main window...did you try CTRL ALT delete? 💁‍♂️

[@gaklimited]

Will Total Security be updated to this? I don't see any of these options in the 2022 version I'm running

[@abdulhkeem.alhadhrami]

I finally see what i asked for 5 or 4 years ago 2018/2019 can't really recall exactly, and it looks nice sad my pc is out graphics card died on me 4 months ago.

[@sakesan6828]

I was using kaspersky in the past (2010-2015) i was never disappointed it was always working well. Since win 10 i never used a av again. If this war would not happens and i would need a av. I would choose kaspersky again as first option.

[@TheChillee]

If we are rally at war, AV wouldn’t matter… everyone would be vaporized. I’m stunned how so many people today don’t understand NATO obligations and the concept of Miutual Assured Destruction

[@roberthundley6]

You can resize the main window now in the new update

[@wamwam37]

New UI beautiful

[@NaitorStudios]

I don't understand, is this better than Total Security? Is it a update for it?

[@akashcallofdutymobile8888]

My bitdefender in windows security says out of date please update but in bitdefender there is no updates available

[@Im_DJ]

Is there any browser protection? To block any phishy websites from loading.

[@RoyFJ65]

I am generally a Linux user but when I need to use Windows 11, Kaspersky is the best experience for me and the bundled VPN with KIS works out quite good.

[@otycyrrus]

Hello ! Does the vpn work well with netflix/hbo max ? Thanks.

[@TarekTAD66]

Thank you for this video but I am still confused about the differences between new Kaspersky products line & old ones other than the UI changes & their website doesn't help much in explaining the differences in functions between new & old ones, I mean I currently use Kaspersky total security what are the differences between it and the new products, do they have same antivirus & anti malware engine or do the new ones have a new features that old Kaspersky total security doesn't have or did they remove any features that total security has form new ones ? I really wished that Kaspersky official website had answered these questions clearly but unfortunately they didn't but I hope that you could make a video explaining the difference between new Kaspersky products under standard or plus plans and old ones as total security other than new UI.

[@amritlohia8240]

Total Security is equivalent to the new Kaspersky Premium. The basic antimalware engine is the same; the new products are just a continuation of the old ones (hence why the version number got increased as normal, rather than starting again), but they happened to change their branding (i.e. their names) at the same time.

[@modern-gamer]

Does the software update do driver updates as well?

[@nicolobirocchi9786]

Interesting 🙂 Waiting for TrendMicro, you never talked about it.

[@CesarAugustoRL]

Hi Leo, can you test this Kaspersky Plus?

How does safe money work in Safari. In windows. The chrome opens a protected browser. Does it happen in Safari in a Mac M1.

[@ThatMuscleNKid]

Why is this only available in US and UK?

How does/will this differ from Kaspersky Total Security? Will they offer a free update (will they update the UI itself) or will users be forced to pay for an entirely new product?

[@info328]

The real problem with the Plus comes as subscription not a standalone and every year it will be billed yearly

[@youtubevisitor697]

Indeed, and I should add... 1. You won't be notified of or given the typical 40%+ off, and more annoyingly and please note 2. The Kaspersky subscription cancellation process is a nightmare to navigate.

[@evilleader1991]

@@youtubevisitor697 What? You can disable automatic renewal on my.kaspersky under subscription option, takes max 2 mins

Is this a free upgrade for existing internet security users?

[@ElectroLich]

I like how their vpn has a mode for torrenting

[@slayni]

I see there's a new option at VPN, and it's for torrenting. What's your thoughts about it? I'm really curious cause I've heard Kaspersky will report you if your activities involve law infringement.

[@cypher0x089]

I don't know about torrenting on their vpn because it's hotspot vpn last time I checked. but kaspersky it self is piracy friendly.

[@xMicrostar]

lol where did you hear that? Do you mean the vpn itself or the anitvirus? Kaspersky if one of the most piracy friendly avs

[@cypher0x089]

@@xMicrostar Kaspersky is piracy friendly.

[@SolusAgomor]

I don't know if they report you, but it's not like people are saying. I stopped using Kaspersky VPN because, suddenly, out of the blue, every time I tried to access RARBG, the internet to my computer was deactivated. Same with Skidrow Codex. With icon on the tray as if it was disconnected. I closed the browser and open again on other site and the connection was back on. I even remember reading in the forums, some guy asking for a refund on VPN subscription, because Kaspersky would allow him to access pirate sites. Unless things changed, that's my experience and what I saw. Besides, I don't think it's the best idea to use security suite VPN to access pirate sires. I would choose to use a 3rd party one. I've used Express VPN and now I' trying Nord VPN. Which sucks on iOS but is good on Windows.

[@slayni]

@@SolusAgomor Thanks for your answer!

[@DoctorMGL]

i only dislike the price .. it is to much , and they don't provide a "1 pc" plan with low price something like ( *8 $ / year* ) or so . other then this the futures are good as well as the design

[@a.b_la4399]

So they removed kaspersky Antivirus plus and internet security and total security, and now we have these

[@TheChillee]

Is Kaspersky Security Cloud still its own entity?

[@Xuzyy]

I decided to switch to Bitdefender in February after Russia actions, there is no comparison Bitdefender is so bad compared to Kaspersky in my opinion

[@TheHobbitmann]

bad?

[@Xuzyy]

@@TheHobbitmann honeslty I prefer kaspersky, easier Ui, much more features, never had an issue, instead with bitdefender I couldn’t even log in my password manager because data in on their server (cloud) and not secured on my pc, with kaspersky I had possibility to encrypt a folder with aes 256 bit and monitor app using my network, much better product its not even close in my opinion concerning features, sadly this all Russia issue is not helping me, I woukd chose kaspersky without doubt without the Russia issue

[@MRantzWI]

[@freddybamba8025]

why it's so damn hard to find the quarantine files location! also, the device on my network often make you're pc run bad as it's scans so often looking up if a new device is connecting creating latency I personally don't like the look and feel of it as much as you do, it's confusing sometime area of the app is not showing up entirely and there is no slider to go left and right or resize usually right after you install windows as you're in a lower resolution. I prefer by far the Kaspersky internet security from 2018 use it was so easy to use compared to this version! I say was because they update mine without asking me to this new version. Some great features sure but so intrusive I do like the fact that the VPN can be uninstall tho. I'm a long long long time user of Kaspersky, decades old one positive note the overall performance of windows using this version Kaspersky premium seems lighter on resources and manage application is awesome. besides the repetitive new device scan on network.

Honestly, it's difficult for me now, I use the Kaspersky Free Antivirus and I am so happy that I don't need extra features. I am a learning IT-Technician and I think having all this extra stuff sounds neat in practice but how many of them will I actually use, I am asking myself. It's really cool and all but 46,99 € for two years and one device is pretty tough for me to decide... I need to give more thought into this.
