The Kaspersky application protects computers running macOS against viruses and other computer security threats.
File Anti-Virus
File Anti-Virus protects the computer's file system in real time by intercepting and analyzing any attempts to access files. You can configure the actions that the application performs on infected files. By default, the Kaspersky application disinfects or deletes malicious objects. Learn more.
Safe Browsing
Safe Browsing protects information that is sent and received by your computer over the HTTP and HTTPS protocols in Safari, Google Chrome™, and Firefox™ browsers. This component includes the Kaspersky Protection browser extension, which you can install to scan website links for phishing and malicious web addresses and reduce the risk of interception when you enter passwords on websites.

Network Attack Blocker
Network Attack Blocker protects the computer against intrusions into the operating system. This component protects against cyberattackers (who use port scanning and brute-force attacks) and the malware they install (including malware that tries to send personal data to criminals). Learn more.
Scan
The Kaspersky application detects and neutralizes viruses and other computer security threats on demand in the specified scan scope. You can configure the actions that the application performs on infected files. By default, the Kaspersky application disinfects or deletes malicious objects.

You can also set up scanning options for external disks connected to the computer. Learn more.
Safe Money
Safe Money protects your financial transactions when you visit banks, payment systems, and stores online – anywhere you enter your bank card details or make an online payment.

The list of validated websites of banks, payment systems, and online stores is updated automatically along with the application databases. Learn more.
