Installing a new version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus over a previous version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus
If an earlier version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus is already installed on your computer, you can upgrade it to the latest version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus. If you have a current license for an earlier version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus, you do not need to activate the application: the Setup Wizard will automatically retrieve information about the license for the previous version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus and apply it during installation of the new version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus.
The application can be upgraded from a previous version automatically in the background if the Download and install new versions automatically option is selected in the Update settings window ( ® Additional ® Update).
Installing a new version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus over a previous version of Kaspersky Internet Security
If you install a new version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus on a computer on which a previous version of Kaspersky Internet Security has been already installed with a current license, the Activation Wizard prompts you to select one of the following options:
Kaspersky Anti-Virus will be installed to your computer in interactive mode using the Setup Wizard.
The Wizard consists of a series of pages (steps), which you can navigate through by clicking the Back and Next buttons. To close the Wizard after it finishes, click the Done button. To stop the Wizard's activity at any step of installation, close the Wizard window.
If the application will be used to protect more than one computer (with the maximum number of computers defined by the terms of the End User License Agreement), the installation procedure will be identical on all computers.
To install Kaspersky Anti-Virus on your computer,
On the installation CD, run the file with the .exe extension.
The application is then installed with the help of a standard Setup Wizard.
In some regions, the installation CD does not include the application installation package. The installation CD contains only the autorun file. When this file is executed, the application download window opens.
To install Kaspersky Anti-Virus using the autorun file:
By clicking the Download and Install button, you send information about the version of your operating system to Kaspersky Lab.
The application is then installed with the help of a standard Setup Wizard.
To install Kaspersky Anti-Virus, you can also download an installation package from the Internet. In this case, the Setup Wizard displays several additional installation steps for some localization languages.
Along with the application, plug-ins for browsers are installed to ensure safe Internet browsing.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus is installed together with the Kaspersky Secure Connection application intended for establishing a secure connection via Virtual Private Network (VPN). You can remove Kaspersky Secure Connection separately from Kaspersky Anti-Virus. If the use of VPN is prohibited in your country, Kaspersky Secure Connection is not installed.
Certain limitations apply to the upgrade from the previous version.
