kaspersky vpn Kaspersky Anti Virus and VPN both on my list of installed programs but VPN not active.

[LodeHere]

Hi,

it looks like Kaspersky VPN was downloaded and installed together with Kaspersky Anti Virus on my laptop.

I only paid for Anti Virus, and have a licence only for that as far as I know, but I also see Kaspersky VPN appear on the list of installed programs.

It's not active I see when checking online with "What is my IP?" but because I have not paid for it as a separate program when I bought Kaspersky Anti Virus that is logical. But I just wonder why is it appearing on the list of installed programs.

Anyone here that can satisfy my curiosity?

Hello @LodeHere, 

Welcome!

• Because Kaspersky automatically installs the "free" (free = limited), Kaspersky VPN, when users install a Kaspersky Anti Virus. 
• IF you do not want it or need it, uninstall it, or it can be changed it so it does not run unless required -> Run the application at computer startup, toggle OFF, Enable VPN automatically at application start up, toggle OFF.

Thank you?

Thank you very much! ?

Now thanks to you I was given the gift of being able to utilze the free Kaspersky VPN. ?

The icons of both programs are now pinned on my normally visible menu, and I added the VPN icon to the toolbar. ❤️

Now I'm trying out my new tool... VPN is ON.  ?

Hello @LodeHere, 

You're most welcome!

IF you sign in to your MyKaspersky account, once, from the VPN app, the VPN daily data allowance increases, check it out if you wish☺️

Thank you?
