AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon build of Kaspersky Anti-Virus Service has been confirmed in use. To ensure you are running the native version, check your Kaspersky installation for updates. Open Kaspersky on your Mac and look for a menu option like "Check for Updates" or navigate to Preferences/Settings to enable automatic updates. Kaspersky typically handles component and service updates as part of its main product installer and auto-update mechanism—simply keeping your Kaspersky suite up to date will bring the native service build to your Mac. If you installed Kaspersky from the vendor's website, visit kaspersky.com and download the latest macOS version to ensure you have the current native build. The service component itself is not separately updatable and will be refreshed whenever Kaspersky's main antivirus engine is updated.
