Windows 10: Announcing Kaspersky Free Anti-Virus

I'm going to give it a try on my laptop. *Smile On my desktops one has Eset Internet Security and this one has my Insider build so I use Windows Defender.

 

Thanks for the warning, luckily I did not try to install it.

 

This is what I get

 

Perhaps, but that's not what I read. It was good for 365 days, and said to register to never loose your key. Said nothing about any VPN. Least not the one I DL'd. I've saved the installer and restored back to before. I'll wait till the whole thing settles down and I hear more feedback.

 

Don't worry COMPUTIAC I installed it and boy oh boy what a mess. Opening Edge caused a popup to appear. Going to Yahoo caused another one. Removed it and back to good old Windows Defender.

Thanks for the update. *Sad

Do you recall what the pop up said ?

 

The licence is for 365 days, but I imagine, it will keep extending with updates.
It is probably the same method like with Windows 10, to keep old versions dying.
Kaspersky Secure Connection is VPN, 200 MB by default, 300 MB when you register.

COMPUTIAC, It says disconnect or continue. But when you continue another popup says confirm. Reloading the page starts the process again. You do have a choice to stop the nagging, but for only 30 minutes.

OK, thanks again.
Dang it.

 

I have Malwarebytes (paid) and AVG (free). If I install Kaspersky Free Antivirus I would uninstall AVG (is that right?) but would Kaspersky Free Antivirus interfere with Malwarebytes?

 

You should use only 1 realtime AV, you already have 2, Malwarebytes and AVG.

 

Yes, that does work. Thanks, Shawn. *Smile

 

Thanks, but I have no need for K VPN. I already have one, paid, lifetime, unlimited.

 

All that is is a Free Download for a Virus scan.

 

Yeah. Shawn posted a direct DL link. I installed and couldn't get it off fast enough!

His link was the real thing, the screen was just the scan. I think that's been around a while.
