KL AV FOR FREE. SECURE THE WHOLE WORLD WILL BE.
Hi folks!
I’ve some fantastic, earth-shattering-saving news: we’re announcing the global launch of Kaspersky Free, which, as you may have guessed by the title, is completely free-of-charge! Oh my giveaway!
We’ve been working on this release for a good year-and-a-half, with pilot versions in a few regions, research, analysis, tweaks and the rest of it, and out of all which we deduced the following:
The free antivirus won’t be competing with our paid-for versions. In our paid-for versions there are many extra features, like: Parental Control, Online Payment Protection, and Secure Connection (VPN), which easily justify the ~$50 for premium protection.
There are a lot of users who don’t have the ~$50 to spend on premium protection; therefore, they install traditional freebies (which have more holes than Swiss cheese for malware to slip through) or they even rely on Windows Defender (ye gods!).
An increase in the number of installations of Kaspersky Free will positively affect the quality of protection of all users, since the big-data-bases will have more numbers to work with to better hone the machine learning.
And based on those three deductions we realized we had to do one thing, and fast: roll out a KL freebie all over the planet!
http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/..._free.html Kaspersky Free Antivirus 18.0.0.405 Author: Kaspersky Labs Date: 07/26/2017 12:28 PM Size: 2.27 MB License: Freemium Requires: Win 10 / 8 / 7 / Vista Kaspersky Free offers up free antivirus protection for your files, the web, and email as well as scanning and database updates. The layout is familiar to Kaspersky users and intuitive enough for anyone new to Kaspersky. The main window has links to the free features including Scan, and Database Update. Of course, the other links including Safe Money, Parental Control, Privacy Protection, and Protection for all Devices is grayed out as a push to buy their premium antivirus. An extension for Internet Explorer protection is available. I assume the crew at Kaspersky have heard of Firefox and Chrome? More Tools gives you access to Cloud Protections, On-Screen Keyboard, and Quarantine while once again grayed out links to their premium products are in place. Kaspersky Free does have file, email and web antivirus, automatic updates, self-defense and quarantine, protection against phishing and infected files being run and supports portable drives. It was designed to not compete with their paid products offering all this basic protection while the paid versions also have Parental Controls, Online Payment Protection, and Secure Connection (VPN), for example. Scanning allows you to scan full, quick, selective, and external drive scans. You can create a scan schedule as well. Settings have quite a few features that include General, Protection, Performance, Scan, and Additional. It's here that you get a better idea of what's offered in this free antivirus. Support offers up some links to a FAQ, configuration tips, support forum, and support tools. While free, an account at Kaspersky is required. You can opt out of promotional emails and must accept the privacy agreement. Kaspersky Free is everything they claim and everything we expected. It's fast and provides basic protection with an attempt to upsell you, which is all the rage lately. We don't mind. We're not talking "OMG BUY ME NOW OR DIE" but rather subtle, grayed out links to some features you might just want someday. Free antivirus is designed for those who can't afford it, don't want Windows Defender and have some tech savvy. If you had to have a free antivirus that you might upgrade later, you certainly can't go wrong with Kaspersky and their proven track record of being consistently one of the best.
