How do iInstall Kaspersky in windows 8

I have a computer with windows 7 and I have the Kaspersky Anti-Virus. I bought windows 8 and I want to put the Kaspersky on the computer again, How do I do it ?
Hi Edan,

Anytime a new operating system is released, it's always a good idea to check with the manufacturers of the software for an updated version that can run on the new operating system.

Checking on the Windows 8 Compatibility Center, it shows as "Not compatible".
 Windows 8 Compatibility Center

You're going to need to check with Kaspersky for a compatible version for Windows 8. You can install your choice of Anti-Virus onto Windows 8 just like you have in the past with Windows 7.

If you have trouble installing the latest Kaspersky, you can always right click the setup/.exe file and run it in compatibility.

*Note*
If you are trying to install Kaspersky on a Windows RT device, you will not be able to do so. Authorized apps from the Store are the only apps that can be installed in Windows RT outside of what came built in.

Thanks!

I checked in the site and I will use Eset Smart Security 5, it says that it is compatible for windows 8.

thanks for your help,
