Windows 10: Announcing Kaspersky Free Anti-Virus

I've found Kaspersky support very good when accessed from the UK.

 

Yes Steve it was very good before like I said it went offshore and it annoys me that this goes on because it is hard even conversing with the call centre people and often the issue that was so readily sorted when the support used to be in Melbourne is that much more difficult to resolve.

But it is the way of the world now eh? mores the pity because it is all greed driven.

 

We are many who use antivirus for protection of our system, I have been faithful to windows always defend, from essential security, is currently the one I use. I'll give you a chance to use it on the second personal computer, try out guys. That consumes a minimum of memory per part will be fine.

 

I've just totally lost my trust in companies that lure at you with free subscriptions at first, but when used it for many years they suddenly spam you with their ransom upgrades, killing the free subscriptions! That's why I call DropBox and Photobucket ransomware criminals.

 

Ok cast mate if you man using Kaspersky for a bit then there reduction on the blog doesn't look to be much less than the paid for though I haven't had time to test it yet KISS (paid for) is usually around 170MB download and 96K running but hwta the free version will use I don't know yet as mentioned. If the straight Protection is the main use then it should be pretty good because I don't use Parental control stuff etc anyway.

 

Agree with you Cliff. Even tho I have had a subscription to Kaspersky, since 2016, I no longer feel safe with it considering all the discussion about the owner and his background. I know many don't trust Microsoft, but I do much more than Kaspersky. Just my preference - not a political statement.

 

I hate when that happens. *Smile

 

What a shame, this is a US site so Brink prob do not spend time reading Danish forum, and i would never buy or install anything from a company like that Thank you very much

 

No it's not.

 

So much ignorance in that statement.

 

@kimkl - possibly you just did not realize. At the bottom of every forum page.

Designer Media Ltd

It's British based, but is a global site, along with all the sister sites.

 

Here is a review of the free product from a reviewer who knows his stuff.

How should MalwareBytes protect from Malware, Ransomware and Exploits if it's not used as a realtime AV? I'm using WD + MB and work fine together.

 

In any case Mbam is not an AV but it's anti a lot of other stuff. Except for some early occurrences it cooperates just fine with WD.

 

Now I have used Kaspersky paid for for the last six years and lets face it you could read all sorts of crap into them collecting info/data for his home country so the same could be said for an American based AV company collecting the very same from users in Russia or what was termed the eastern block seems to me a lot of paranoia going around at the moment and again nothing is safer than you being careful whatever you use.

One thing I might add is that Kaspersky for a long time now has NOT liked playing with MBAM in any form in fact it was one of the defining issues in my Ivy build having so many problems over the last 18 months. I should I suppose say that it out here anyway.

Going to the blog part where Shawn sowed the distribution areas in my experience it sometimes does not always download the first or even maybe the second time so one just has to keep trying.
