Thanks ahmed I never knew this. Looks like the free version doesn't offer much.
Differences between versions
Kaspersky Security Cloud Free has limited functionality compared to the versions of Personal and Family. Antivirus includes a virus protection feature and a secure connection. Built-in password manager works with a maximum of 15 passwords, which makes full use of this component.
Secure connection - VPN service to which users can connect to the program. The free version of the volume of traffic is limited to 300 megabytes per day and are not available to the user some of the advanced features, such as the choice to connect the region.
Kaspersky can offer to connect to the VPN automatically depending on the current device connection status. If the device is connected to a public Wi-Fi network, Kaspersky prompts you to install VPN-connection to protect your data and to improve the level of privacy.
Advanced features, such as firewall, family protection, child protection and secure payments reserved for paid versions users.
Web Console Management
One of the key differences between Free Antivirus is a new remote control, which is incorporated in Security Cloud Free.
You can login to your account and manage all connected devices. User functions are available to run a full or fast scan start database updates and control components.
You get information about the current status, for example, that the product is updated and that the threats were not found.
The user can attach more devices to your account. As new devices available options expands.
Shortcomings and problems
Kaspersky Security Cloud Free requires an account and automatically activates the remote control attached devices. Users who do not need this function, may opt for a Free Antivirus.
It is understood that Kaspersky is trying to make a profit from their products, but in the main interface should still clearly indicate that some options are only available in the paid version.
Kaspersky explains the function icons on the page "More functions", but does not do this on the main page.
What to choose: Kaspersky Security Cloud Free or Kaspersky Free Antivirus?
The final decision depends on whether you remote management capabilities or not. The basic functionality is almost identical, and although users Kaspersky Security Cloud Free can get new features to the users of Kaspersky Antivirus Free, included safety features are basically identical.
Kaspersky Security Cloud Free is also available for Android and iOS, so the mobile protection can be controlled remotely from the cloud-based console.
Products "Kaspersky Lab" have shown good results in tests of anti-virus and Kaspersky Security Cloud Free is not an exception, since it shares the protective function with other products of Kaspersky.
