I guess you all know by now that Kaspersky has been banned in the US due to the political issues between USA & Russia (I just found out about the removals 2 hours ago):

https://support.kaspersky.com/us/faq/2024-us-sales-statement#file-and-web-antivirus

The two most important browser extensions that accompany my products are no longer available in Chrome/Edge/Firefox extension stores:
Kaspersky Protection Extension + Kaspersky Password Manager Extension

Question is...why do we non-US customers have to suffer too? Not everything revolves around that country you know.

I understand that the browsers we're using are all US-related and that they have to comply and completely remove everything Kaspersky from their platforms, but Kaspersky should find solutions for us that have nothing to do with the US. We should be able to continue using these services that we have been relying on for years.

Currently, everything is working without issues on my side since I have the extensions installed before the ban, but if I ever delete those for any reason, or move to a new computer (which I will be doing very soon!), then im screwed and I won't be able to install the extensions anymore. Yes, I may not rely on the extensions that much since the Windows apps are more than enough, but I still want the same complete experience that I have been enjoying for years.

What now? Can't you serve these extensions as files that we can manually download and install as add-ons? Seems very easy to achieve yet it looks like Kaspersky is giving up on the rest of the world. Hopefully this is not a sign of a future closure as I've been a customer for close to 20 years.

Hi, 

Browser extensions works normally for non US users. 

I'm in Ireland and when I try to install Kaspersky Protection 2021 addon into the latest Firefox I get the message: "Download failed. Please check your connection."

Kaspersky protection v2.10.9.1 with FF v130.0.1 without problems.

From here ?? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/kaspersky-protection-2021/

Edited September 28, 20242 yr by nexon

I just installed here (Spain) from there: https://addons.mozilla.org/es/firefox/addon/kaspersky-protection-2021/

 

Try from:

 

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/kaspersky-protection-2021/

hmm, "Falló la descarga. Comprueba tu conexión.". -  the same problem.

I have Windows 10 Home, Kaspersky Standart 21.18.5.438 (a), Mozilla Firefox 130.0.1 (64-bit)

other addons are ok

Using VPN?

No. Can I download the file and install the addon from my computer?

Try from this link (my own private cloud), I just took it from my FF profile, You will have to install from that file, selecting Install from an archive / file.

This post hasn't been solved yet, I don't know why you're marking your own as the solution? Im the poster here, not @LudmilaP.

There are no Kaspersky addons for Chrome & Edge. On Firefox, only Kaspersky Protection is still there (no Kaspersky Password Manager extension) but im sure Protection will also get removed soon on FF store.

I use all 3 browsers on a daily basis. Nothing personal, but we need an official way to install these addons for all those browsers, not a forum mod uploading a file from his computer.

They work if you installed them before the ban, but they are no longer available to download again.

Thank you! I wasn't aware of these links. It appears Kaspersky Protection extension for Chrome can be accessed only through that link (could get deleted soon?).

At the moment, all extensions made by Kaspersky will not show up when searching the Chrome extension store (im not in USA):
https://chromewebstore.google.com/search/kaspersky

For Firefox, only KP extension is available in search, but no KPM. So im assuming KP will also get removed soon.

Edited September 28, 20242 yr by BlackEdition

Guys from US what if you try connect to vpn Canada for example and then try download? Or any other country? 

Someone tried? 

It appears that all Kaspersky extensions ✅ can in fact be installed without searching for them through the Chrome/Edge/Firefox extension stores! I was only aware of this now and I will explain it below since it wasn't very clear even to me who I've been using Kaspersky products for many years.

 

To install Kaspersky Protection extension:

Open your Kaspersky for Windows app, search for "extension" in the search box, and there you will find all the extension-related info.

I already had all the extensions installed, so I made a quick test by deleting KP extension for Firefox, but it was still stuck to "On" even when I restarted Kaspersky Plus & Firefox. However, once I restarted both apps I got a Windows pop up from Kaspersky Plus asking to install the extension for Firefox.

If you weren't successful with installing the extension this way, just install it through the link here (link is alive when writing this post):
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/kaspersky-protection/ahkjpbeeocnddjkakilopmfdlnjdpcdm

For more info:

https://support.kaspersky.com/common/start/12782#block4

 

To install Kaspersky Password Manager extension:

Open your KPM for Windows > Settings > Browsers, then just click on install from there.

I tested it on Firefox by deleting my extension then re-installing it through here. It started downloading the extension by itself and I was able to install it like usual.

 

Hopefully things will continue working nicely like this for all of us who are not living in USA! I can't verify if this will work for US-residents, so maybe someone try this and let us know?

Thanks to everyone who tried to help. This thread is now solved.

I tried digging through Google search for some links and I was able to find another page for Kaspersky Protection with just 1 user rating:

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/Kaspersky Protection/ggcchoafdoonfjffokbkpfpiokjdpelm

Same developer as the original extension (KASPERSKY LAB MIDDLE EAST FZ-LLC), but it has a newer version (2.11.78.3 vs 2.10.9.1).

 

The original extension is here, with 1.4K ratings:

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/kaspersky-protection/ahkjpbeeocnddjkakilopmfdlnjdpcdm

 

Why does that new one exist? An official word would be nice.

I'm using Kaspersky Protection extension 2.11.96.0 for Chrome and Edge. It has been updated September 20, 2024, and I think it's latest version. I used DuckDuckGo to find it, when I reinstalled Kaspersky Premium a week ago for just more fun. No problems here! but Google maybe have them.

Wow, a third one?

Can someone explain why there are 3 different Kaspersky Protection extensions?

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/kaspersky-protection/ahkjpbeeocnddjkakilopmfdlnjdpcdm

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/kaspersky-protection/caikgllanhlklcokdjmkadajfohoahak

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/kaspersky-protection/ggcchoafdoonfjffokbkpfpiokjdpelm

Is it the same extension but Chrome extension store creates a separate page for each version or what?

See in Details in every link, different versions.

As of today, January 15 2025, none of the links to the Kaspersky extension in the chrome web store work. In fact there doesn't seem to be a trace of any Kaspersky products on the store. It is like they never existed.

This is particularly disappointing as I have been a user since 2009, across multiple laptops, smartphones and tablets. 

I just activated a one-year licence on Kaspersky Standard and found out on clicking the in-app link that the extension was a dead end.

Does anyone know how I can get the Kaspersky protection extension for Google Chrome?

@BasseyOrtho Welcome.

Did you try Tips for using the Chrome Web Store →  Set location and language  ?

Thanks for this. I have tried to follow the steps here but they do not seem to apply to my version of the web store. For example, there is no 'settings' button in the store home page to start with.

Thanks for this. I am finding it difficult changing location, so this still returns the same empty page as before for me. I am currently in Nigeria, perhaps that's a reason? 

Weird, here that link is working fine ?

So, an update.

I was just googling to find a solution and stumbled on 2 sites that offer the extension as a .crx file to download. They seemed legit, even had valid certificates by Kaspersky (the irony!). I tried to download it but got blocked by my KS. One of the sites had a download link to the webstore which took me directly to the extension (finally!). I have successfully added it. Here are the sites and links below. Now I can breathe.
