Setting up an antivirus software for a computing system or information network is the crucial step during installation. Kaspersky’s security applications are simple to setup and install. It also features an interactive user interface. The antivirus is compatible across multiple platforms and provides a hassle-free experience throughout after a simple installation and setup. All Kaspersky products offer multiple user language settings making it an all-round software that can be customized to use according to your preferences.

Product activation and periodic updates will require a strong Internet connection across all of Kaspersky’s security applications irrespective of the platform on which the product is installed. Kaspersky software can function well with a 64-bit operating system powered by a 1GHz processor. The products do require a minimum memory of 2GB to support the processing requirements.
Kaspersky can be installed on Apple computing systems that feature similar memory and processing requirements. The antivirus also supports installation on mobile operating systems including the Windows Phone 8 OS, the iOS 9.0, and all smartphones running on Android 4.1 to 8.1. Note that the antivirus does not have any significant impact on the system performance nor does it affect the existing running processes in the task list.

There are some performance tasks that draw more power while running in the background and can affect the operating system and processes. This will entirely depend on the configuration of the operating system including both the hardware and the software components.
