The app’s UI has been overhauled to make it more user-friendly and easy to use (while macOS and Android users also gain access to Dark Mode support). Of all the 2021 updates, the changes to Kaspersky Secure VPN are the biggest. This provides basic antimalware protection across all your devices as well as access to the free versions of Kaspersky Password Manager and Kaspersky Secure VPN. Kaspersky has also updated its free entry-level version of its Security Cloud package. Note, the free version only allows up to 15 entries to be encrypted in a secure vault other completely free solutions such as Bitwarden are available. Accompanying this move is the addition of the free version of Kaspersky Password Manager to the Internet Security and AntiVirus suites.

Security Cloud’s Account Check feature has been updated to automatically scan submitted email addresses to see if they’ve been compromised by any online hacks.

Improved detection is accompanied by a new warning dialog, which not only alerts the user but provides them with the means of removing, ignoring, or adding the tool to a whitelist. The major feature highlight in Kaspersky 2021 is protection against so-called 'stalkerware' on Windows PCs, with the feature overhauled since its introduction last year.
