"Downloads unavailable​

Downloads are unavailable for US customers. For non-US customers, Kaspersky solutions are available at Kaspersky.com."​

OK, I had to download it from the Netherlands but I balked when I was asked to check "I am aware and agree that my data will be handled and transmitted (including to third countries)...." Um, no thanks Kaspersky. I'm sure it's all on the up-and-up but I can get by without this risk.
