About Kaspersky Safe Kids
Kaspersky Safe Kids is a cross-platform solution that helps you monitor the security of your child in the real world and virtual world. It is up to you to decide what is safe for your child, such as what websites he or she can visit, how many hours he or she can spend using the computer or smartphone, and where he or she is allowed to walk. The application makes sure that your child obeys the rules you have set.
Kaspersky Safe Kids is compatible with Windows, macOS, Android and iOS devices. If you install Kaspersky Safe Kids on your devices and on the devices your child uses, you can manage the application on the child's devices using your My Kaspersky account or using parent mode of the application on your mobile device.
Kaspersky Safe Kids is available in two versions: Free and Premium.
To use Kaspersky Safe Kids, you must download the application installation package from the Internet and manually install the application on the computer.
If you use Kaspersky Safe Kids
Your child can disable Kaspersky Safe Kids using Kaspersky Internet Security. To avoid this, we recommend that you protect access to Kaspersky Internet Security settings with a password.
If you signed in to the operating system under an account that is linked to a child profile in Kaspersky Safe Kids, Kaspersky Internet Security stops showing the following notifications:

You can enable notifications by selecting the Show notifications in children's accounts check box in the Notification settings window (Settings → Additional → Notifications).
