The next version of Kaspersky Safe Kids cannot be installed on Microsoft Windows 7 if the following updates are not installed:

  • KB4490628 (update from 12 March 2019).
  • KB4474419 (update from 23 September 2019).
  • SP 1 (KB976932), if not installed.

Installation error will occur as a result of Microsoft having updated the algorithm for signing modules and drivers of third-party applications. Now modules and drivers of third-party applications (including Kaspersky) are signed using SHA256 hashing algorithm. You need to install updates for KB4490628 and KB4474419, so that Kaspersky Safe Kids modules and drivers could be signed using SHA256 hashing algorithm.

Use one of the following methods to install the updates.
