    It's never advised to have two anti-virus programs installed. Internet Security has AV installed so the stand alone is not needed

    Having more than one Anti virus usually leads to conflicts, especially over time.

    Besides the installer should take over the existing Kaspersky folder and add/replace the needed files to "UPGRADE".

    you would go from Essential to Premium Security.

    It is NOT a good idea to have two Anti Virus programs running on your Operating System at the same time.
    Conflicting programs slow your computer & may create crashes, freezes etc
    More is NOT best.

    Why would you want to run Kaspersky AV with their own Internet Suite? KIS contains the AV and many more functions.

    You can't run both at the same time since you can't install a new Kaspersky product when another one is already installed on your system.

    You only need Internet Security as it includes Anti-Virus plus other features.
