Prior to the solution with the release of security patches every month, as well as the recent implementation of the latest system Google Play Protection. Today we will talk about the latter.
Security Platform (originally Google Play Protect) was presented at the annual conference for Google developers I/O 2017.

Essentially, Google Play Protection combines all the well-known security-related features in Android - app verification, safe browsing in the browser, and device search (from Google). Now it all works together under a common name.

Google notes that new system Security for Android scans more than 50 billion applications every day on Android devices around the world. This is hardly a lie, given the number of active Android users (more than 2 billion) and the number of applications available for this mobile platform.

How it works

Although Google carefully reviews all applications before publishing them directly on Play Store, some unobvious malware still penetrates the store and spreads to devices large quantity users. IN in this case The user himself is responsible for the security of his Android device - he just needs to not “fall for the trick” of the virus.

Every legal antivirus user thinks at least once a year: where to buy and how to renew Kaspersky license. This is not difficult to do, but there are nuances here too.

That same legal user of Kaspersky Lab anti-virus products must keep in mind that he did not buy the program, but the right to use this program on certain period(usually 1 year).

If during this period a new version of the antivirus used is released, the user can use this new version without any additional payment. Moreover, it is very desirable to do this, since the new version of the product uses improved virus search algorithms and almost always contains new anti-virus functions.

For example, if you use Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 and a new product appeared for download on the manufacturer’s website Kaspersky Internet Security 2012, need to:

• Download the distribution kit (free) of the latest version of the product.
• Launch it and follow the instructions of the Installation Wizard.
• The installation wizard will automatically remove the old version of the product and pick up the current one key file. Product license duration new version will correspond to the license validity period for the old version product.
• To restart a computer.

If the license has expired, you need to purchase a license renewal for Kaspersky Anti-Virus or Kaspersky Internet Security. However, you need to know that when renewing your license, you can switch to using a more expensive antivirus product with the same discount. For example, if the license to use Kaspersky Anti-Virus has expired, you can re-purchase an extension of the Kaspersky Anti-Virus license, or you can purchase an extension Kaspersky licenses Internet Security, no purchase required basic version Kaspersky Internet Security, the price of which is 1600 rubles

And considering that the difference in price between renewing a license for Kaspersky Anti-Virus and renewing a license for Kaspersky Internet Security is only 140 rubles, it makes sense to switch to a product with more functionality and better protection

A license renewal can be purchased either in the form of a box (with a disk containing the program distribution kit and an activation code) or a scratch card (having only an activation code), or in the form of an electronic delivery through any reliable Kaspersky Lab online store (best of all, of course, from us :) - in this case, the product activation code is sent to the buyer’s email. The price is the same in all cases

Interestingly, sales experience has shown the advantage of electronic delivery over physical delivery. Although it would seem that for the same money the buyer can receive not only an activation code, but also a distribution kit, however, the distribution kit in the boxes is almost always outdated and most buyers still download the updated distribution kit from the manufacturer’s website, and the leaflets with the activation code from the box and scratch cards, It turns out that they tend to get lost a couple of months after purchase, and finding them in your own home if you reinstall the system turns out to be more difficult than getting the activation code again in in electronic format from the online store

Having purchased a license renewal using any of the described methods, look at what version of the program is installed (you can find out the version by clicking right click mouse on the program tray icon and selecting the menu item - About the program), if installed outdated version- update the program (as described above).

Interesting point: starting from versions 2011, when updating licenses with a transition to another product (for example, from Kaspersky Anti-Virus to Kaspersky Internet Security) - there is no need to reinstall the program! That is, if you have installed current version Kaspersky antivirus 2012 and you activate it when renewing your license Kaspersky key Internet Security 2012 - your program will start working like Kaspersky Internet Security 2012, with all previously unavailable functions.

Now all that remains is to activate the new license. Left-click on the program icon in the tray. In the window that opens, select the hyperlink Licensing


Then click the button Activate the program and in the next window that opens, enter the activation code and click the button Further

If everything is done correctly, you can breathe a sigh of relief and congratulate yourself - your computer is provided with reliable anti-virus protection for another year.

Attention - nuances!

Since version 2010, antivirus programs Kaspersky Lab can only be activated with an activation code if there is a connection to the Internet. To activate an anti-virus product on a computer not connected to the Internet, you could contact the Service technical support Kaspersky Lab by writing a request through your Personal Account from any computer with access to the Internet. But currently, the ability to activate without connecting to worldwide network impossible. The hardware requirements for the product indicate the need to connect to a network, and if there is no connection, then the computer does not comply technical requirements. You need to provide your computer with access to the Internet at least for the duration of the license activation.

Starting from version 2012, a check for the presence of a valid license has been introduced when activating a license renewal. If the client does not have a previous license, the term of his license upon renewal will be reduced to 8 months. Information about this is posted on license renewal boxes and scratch cards.

Initially, Avast canceled the mandatory registration for users Avast antivirus Free Antivirus 2016, as it was practiced in previous versions utilities.

In this case, you need to apply the procedure. Then, install the program on your computer again and register using any of the methods described above.

As you can see, renew your registration Avast programs does not pose any problems. This is a fairly easy and straightforward process. If you have an Internet connection, it will take no more than a couple of minutes. The essence of the registration itself is to enter your email address in a special form.
