Where Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool fits

Understand its role as an occasional cleanup utility when reviewing an existing installation, rather than treating it as continuous protection.

Check before you choose

Review U.S. Department of Commerce restrictions on Kaspersky software distribution and updates before downloading or depending on current detection data.

Find the right edition

Start with the destination for your device or the publisher's website. Use the current requirements and terms there to confirm the edition you need.

Compare the workflow

Start by checking the protection already running on your device. A permanent security suite, a portable scanner and a browser-cleanup utility are different interventions; installing several at once can complicate diagnosis.
