Looks interesting. I know it has been a long development cycle. Thanks for the update. I may have to look into testing it out if time allows.

 

New Product Brochures with introductory sale prices (This list is for US and Canada installations only):

Premium:

Looks like its available now both to buy and to convert current installations to the new (don't see any demos yet):

"Today Kaspersky announced the launch of early access to its new, simplified consumer solutions portfolio..."

And is there anything new or interesting? I did see a quick preview on YouTube and I noticed that the HIPS looked a bit cluttered and complex.

 

I haven't personally looked at it yet. I am testing another product right now that I can't share any info on.

 

Side note, the new Kaspersky is nice, very light!

 

Besides marketing. Why are there 3 different versions? Difference in protection or complexity?

 

► Kaspersky comparison (Basic | Standard | Plus)

 

I could be reading this wrong. So none include a firewall?

 

Just like most AVs out there, they had to ruin it by including this junk performance optimizer (app updater, PC speed up, etc.)

 

standard and plus plans do include a fw.

 

@Spartan fyi, basic app has no frills.

 

There’s four. The free version.

 

Just as @imdb says

is there any way to upgrade from kis v21 (j) to one of these plans? or these plans are separate as another line of products?

 

Yes you can:

"If you’re using the paid version of one of our home products, you can switch to the new system without spending a dime. For example, you can convert your current Kaspersky Internet Security license into a Kaspersky Standard subscription for free. The same way, you can easily convert Kaspersky Security Cloud into a Kaspersky Plus subscription."

Much appreciated Azure Phoenix... I will check it out.

 

Thanks, @hawki !

 

Wow, sounds mysterious, can you at least give a bit more info, is it a new AV or new HIPS.

Yes, can stand this nonsense, but you don't get it in the free version.

 

Here's a brief "first Impressions" video of the new Kaspersky Plus version:

Sorry, NDA means no. Probably shouldn't have even mentioned it.
