Kaspersky's Android antivirus software app has been suddenly removed from the Google Play Store. In addition to deleting the app, Kaspersky's developer account has also been disabled from the Google Play Store.

In this regard, the official forum of Kaspersky has said that an investigation is underway as to why there is no Kaspersky app in the Google Play Store. Currently, the Kaspersky app cannot be downloaded or updated from the Google Play Store. The possible cause will be identified and the solution will be given as soon as possible.


The app's APK file can be downloaded from the Galaxy Store, Huawei App Gallery and Xiaomi Get Apps as well as from Kaspersky's website. After downloading the app from the website, visit Kaspersky's support page for instructions on how to install the app.

Incidentally, last June, the US government banned the sale of Kaspersky's antivirus software in its own country, accusing it of having ties with Russia. According to the US announcement, Kaspersky software updates, sales and product licenses are banned in the US from September 29.

Kaspersky has stopped all its activities in the country after receiving a ban from the US government. Kaspersky's app is believed to have been removed from Google's Play Store due to the US ban. Kaspersky, which started its journey in 1997, is headquartered in Moscow, Russia, but has offices in 31 countries around the world. More than 40 million users around the world use Kaspersky Antivirus.
