When the license owner upgrades the license or subscription for Kaspersky Internet Security to a subscription to Kaspersky Security Cloud, the application shows a notification that you have to upgrade to Kaspersky Security Cloud.
Kaspersky Security Cloud is our new security service based on patented adaptive security technology. The service adjusts to your actions and provides personalized recommendations on how to better protect you and your loved ones. For example, when you connect to Wi-Fi networks, shop online or sign in to websites, the service recommends turning on the protection components that best fit the situation.
