Where Does the Kaspersky App Store Data?

Historic Kaspersky Android data under com.kms.free. Delisted from Play; use Galaxy or Huawei stores.

Last updated

Antivirus vendor Kaspersky was removed from Google Play with its developer account terminated. Historic Android installs keep data under the com.kms.free private dir. Databases continue updating on sideloaded copies.

New installs come from Galaxy Store, AppGallery, GetApps or the vendor APK. The iOS security advisor listing persists outside the US. Subscription state lives in My Kaspersky, not local files. Cache holds temporary copies. Server copies stay authoritative. Session data remains private. Stored files return after login. System settings clear the cache.

Where Kaspersky stores this, by platform

iOS
/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/<guid>/Documents

GUID container for the security advisor bundle (App Store ID 1089969624). US App Store listing is gone; other regions persist.
