To protect five devices, Bitdefender has the lead, but Kaspersky isn’t too far behind. If five devices isn’t enough, Kaspersky can also protect up to 10 devices for Kaspersky Anti-Virus (Windows only) and Internet Security, but the pricing is noticeably more expensive than Bitdefender and AVG. If five devices is too few and 10 is too many, Kaspersky Total Security maxes out at protecting seven devices, which is a device count that none of the other aforementioned antivirus providers offer. Kaspersky Total Security is the main version that protects the typical Windows, Android, iOS and MacOS devices. At the time of review, it costs $74.97 to protect five devices for the first year before reverting to its typical $149.95 annual fee. I’d recommend starting with either Kaspersky Free or a 30-day trial for one of the premium options. If you like Kaspersky after this time, you can save money by opting for a two-year plan option.
Here's a quick overview of Kaspersky's available plans in Australia. Kaspersky is a bit intimidating at first glance. There are technically three core Kaspersky versions, but the main sign-up page has dozens of options separated into different plans. Once you pick the Kaspersky version you want, you have to contend with a drop-down menu for the number of devices, one or two years, and you can even click through for more options if you want to protect more devices. If you make it past that, things start to get easier, even if the Windows installation was very slow in comparison to Kaspersky’s peers. It’s worth paying attention to the prompts for the installation wizard as there are some great opt-in security features. Choose to keep or remove ad blocking, malware detection and/or malicious tool removal (I’d advise using all of those). Installation of the Android version was a lot easier and there’s no need to create an account. The only quirk is to ensure you hit the little ‘x’ if you want to try the free version. Scans across Windows and Android are zippy but manually updating the threat database took a while on PC.
