Kaspersky Free is now available in the UK. Kaspersky's anti-virus products are rated high in many independent lab tests e.g. av-test.org/en/…16/
It provides standard anti-virus protection, which usually costs £15 a year for a 1-user for their "Kaspersky Anti Virus" product. It's IMO a cleaner alternative to the likes of AVG, Avira and Avast.
I personally uninstall their bundled VPN software "Kaspersky Secure Connection", which offers 200MB/day access to their VPN - may be useful when you're out and about using public hotspots, but not for me.

Thanks for sharing @Darude . I've got Kaspersky Internet Security on a few of the families laptops/PC's and find it good - doesn't seem to hog the system the way some previous anti virus software has and is normally quick to update / respond to issues. Not sure how the free version compares but if it uses same detection engine etc then it would be my first choice :smile:

Oooh! This being free is new! I signed up to barclays bank to get kaspersky for free a few years back. Been using kaspersky since mid 2000's always thought it was the best of the picks overall. Well time to close the barclays account it would seem!
You seem to have downloaded it already :grin: :grin:
My only point was that in this digital world, we all should be aware, what we have been signing up. Because something is CHEAP or FREE doesn't always mean it's good. See what and who are we supporting to as well.
Apply your senses and make wise decisions based on information. Look at the bigger picture and don't just jump on deals...
May be you are right but do you really want to caught in between. ...

You really are paranoid!! :astonished:
Do you keep on looking over your shoulder at night as well just in case people are following you?

Rather than asking you to pay for the privilege of having your computer compromised, they're now offering to do it for free. How kind!
