Replacement for Total Security?

[EdHJr]

Has Kaspersky recommended a replacement for Total Security?

@EdHJr Welcome

Yes, Kaspersky Total Security (KTS) is now a legacy Kaspersky product being replaced by Kaspersky Plus with VPN and unlimited Safe Kids.

Thanks, Guilhermesene4096, but I thought Kaspersky isn't going to be able to update any of it's products after the end of the month.

Hello @EdHJr, 

In  topic US Government Ban on private use of Kaspersky anti-virus, @Danila T. has posted two replies advising about the transition to UltraAV, however on UltraAV's site - the current status is still No action required at this time                                                                                                                              

*So, we're all waiting with baited breath*

Thank you🙏

Thank you, @Flood and Flood's wife. Your info was very helpful. Now, if UltraAV will just tell us something.

Not even sure what to do at this point. I tried to get UltraAV all set up and installed since it never autoinstalled from the KTS app and within an hour of installing and trying to commence normal activity I BSOD 4 times in a 30 minute span. I uninstalled UltraAV and after 2 hours have yet to BSOD even once. I have used Kaspersky for the past ~15-20 years and have never had issues. Had until 2026 on my sub but am looking for suggestions so I can avoid UltraAV.

There is VERY little information on Ultra AV on the internet and no independent testing done on the software. Personally I'm picking another AV company that is reputable

After Kaspersky cancelled my free subscription in USA, I replaced it with free BitDefender.  But it was using too much resources, esp. (RAM) Memory, as indicated in the Task Manager.  So, I replaced it w/ free Avast and the computer speed, esp. Chrome browser's, returned to that under Kaspersky.  Now my 10-yr old computer w/ 4-core, 8-thread, 3.5 GHz processor, 16 GB of RAM, Windows 10 and cheapest fiber optics Internet works v. fast.  I do not wait for anything after initial start-up, but is runs 24/7 for MagicJack and I restart twice a week at most.  The memory leakage (build-up) is slow unlike under BitDefender.
