Installation procedure

Kaspersky Anti-Virus installation is performed on your computer in interactive mode using the Installation Wizard.

The wizard consists of a series of screens (steps) navigated using the Back and Next buttons. To close the wizard once it completes its work, use the Finish button. To stop the wizard at any stage, use the Cancel button.

When Kaspersky Anti-Virus is installed on your computer, you can temporarily switch to Kaspersky Internet Security to assess its features. You can also purchase a license. You will not have to install Kaspersky Internet Security apart from Kaspersky Anti-Virus.

If the application is going to protect more than one computer, it should be installed on all computers in the same way. Remember that in this case, according to the license agreement, the license term begins from the date of the first activation. If you activate the application to protect a second and subsequent computers, the license validity period will be reduced by the number of days that has passed from the date of the first activation. Therefore, the license term will expire for all installed copies of the application simultaneously.

To install Kaspersky Anti-Virus on your computer,

run the setup file (a file with the *.exe extension) on the CD containing the product.

The process of installing Kaspersky Anti-Virus from an installation package downloaded from the Internet is identical to that from the installation CD.
