Description
Kaspersky Internet Security is a two-year antivirus subscription for one Windows, macOS or Android device. It suits home users outside the United States who want real-time protection, safer online banking and a VPN without renewing every year. Your activation code is delivered by email after payment.
Important: not for use in the United States
Do not buy this code for a device in the United States. Kaspersky sales in the US were banned by the US Department of Commerce from 20 July 2024. Updates for US users stopped after 29 September 2024, so protection there would quickly become outdated.
If you live in the US, McAfee Total Protection or McAfee Premium Security for Mac are the suitable choices in our range.
What the subscription includes
- Real-time threat defence against viruses, spyware and ransomware.
- Safe browsing and shopping to protect card and banking details during payments.
- Privacy protection that blocks unauthorised webcam and microphone access, plus anti-phishing filters.
- Secure VPN that encrypts traffic and hides your IP address on public Wi-Fi.
- Parental control tools to manage what children can see online.
- Automatic updates to threat databases throughout the two-year term.

Two-year Kaspersky or a one-year plan?
A two-year term means one purchase and one activation for 24 months of updates. The trade-off is less flexibility if you change platform or move country during that time. The table compares all four antivirus licences we stock.
| Product | Term | Devices | Platforms | Use in the US | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kaspersky Total Security | 1 year | 1 device | Windows, macOS, Android, iOS | No | Password manager, file encryption and parental controls |
| Kaspersky Internet Security – this page | 2 years | 1 device | Windows, macOS, Android | No | Longer cover for one device |
| McAfee Total Protection | 1 year | 1 device | Windows, macOS, Android, iOS | Yes | VPN and identity monitoring, including US users |
| McAfee Premium Security for Mac | 1 year | Shown in your McAfee account | macOS | Yes | Mac owners who want VPN and identity tools |
If you want a password manager and encrypted file storage, Kaspersky Total Security adds them for one year. Browse the full antivirus range to compare.
Frequently asked questions
How do I activate Kaspersky Internet Security with my code?
Install the latest Kaspersky app and sign in with your My Kaspersky account. Go to the licence or subscription screen and type the activation code exactly as shown in your email. The app connects to Kaspersky's servers, confirms the code and displays your two-year end date. Activation needs an internet connection.
When does the two-year term start?
The term normally starts when you activate the code, not on the day you buy it. Activate it soon after purchase so the full period is available. Your My Kaspersky account shows the exact end date. Make a note of it, because protection weakens once updates stop.
Does this Kaspersky licence cover more than one device?
No. This listing is for one device only, for two years. You can choose a Windows PC, a Mac or an Android phone. For a second device, buy a second code. Each code is managed separately in your My Kaspersky account, so you can see which device uses it.
Can I move my Kaspersky licence to a new PC?
Yes. Uninstall Kaspersky from the old PC, or disconnect it in My Kaspersky. Install the app on the new PC, sign in with the same account and apply the licence. The remaining time continues on the new device. Renewal is never automatic from LicenceHouse; you buy a new code when needed.
