Briefly about the product…

It’s a version with all the bare essentials: file, email and web antivirus; automatic updates, self-defense; quarantine; and so on. This arsenal ensures convenient and safe web surfing (is it still surfing? Sounds a bit 90s to me), working with USB sticks and other portable storage media, and protection against both phishing and infected files being run. In short, the indispensable basics that no one on the planet should do without.

Kaspersky Free is also lighter on system resources and quicker than its big brothers. It’s based on the same technologies as those older brothers, which you all know always come out on top in independent testing. This means that, though it features just the bare basics, it still packs a punch – a punch we’re no less proud of. The same protection without compromise: we detect any cyberthreat regardless of its origin or intention – even if certain folks don’t like it. At the same time Kaspersky Free doesn’t come cut with all the usual nonsense like advertising-oriented user-habit tracking and confidentiality infringements – which free AV normally suffers badly from in order to make it financially worthwhile to its manufacturers.

The rap against Kaspersky as I understand it is they don’t play ball with the US spy agencies...I see that as a selling point.

[mac_truck]

Kaspersky is considered a top choice for folks who don’t want the US government spying on them...ymmv

Actually the rap is that Kaspersky plays ball with Russia’s spy agencies.

I still prefer AVG. Been using it for 10 years.

The Romanian cybersecurity company BitDefender consistently rivals Kaspersky for being the world’s best AV.

And we really want a Russian-government associated security software package?! /s

NO WAY!

[Neidermeyer]

Computer security tools from Russia. Yep. That makes sense.
************
Better than McAfee who hired Russian hackers to create viruses (and the signatures for his AV to find them with) to push sales.

Russian.....safe....security, are not words that should be in same sentence.

“I still prefer AVG. Been using it for 10 years”

Used them as well. They go back and forth as one of the top rated free AV with Avast.

[ducttape45]

I purchase their full Internet Security program each year, multiple licenses. I share it with my daughter, mother and myself. Kind of a family affair. I will download the free version and install it on computers that I work on for people so they have something on it when I deliver it to them.

Lol..the rap from who, Brennan and Clapper?

There's much more empirical evidence those two were spying on American citizens than the Russians.
