Kaspersky was my first AV when using Windows, back then there was no MS defender and Kaspersky was simply the best, but it was real resource hog.

What's the difference between this and your other topic, as they both contain the same download link for Kaspersky?

no love for Arch ?

damn

"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)...." Belarus? North Korea? Um, no thanks Kaspersky. I'm sure it's all on the up-and-up but I can get by without this risk. Thanks CondoBloke for posting this though, sorry if I cast a little shade on your OP.

i think they mean malware samples.
thats how they do it (send samples to kaspersky , bit-defender - norton etc)

 

[Condobloke]

No difference.

Put the topic in two places to ensure it is seen.

If one only has to survive, let it be this one, please.

I'll just merge the other topic into this one, as others have replied there. And it's double posting int different forum sections.

I would never download or run anything from Kaspersky, but it's your system.

same here, i have geo-blocked RU + other malware countries.

I can not legally use it.

I am curious about their AV product, though I'd never actually use it on a machine. I'd only play with it in a VM to see how it works. I'm not interested in actually installing it on a real OS.

Heck, I didn't use any resident AV during my last years with Windows. I was just careful about what I did with the computer. I'd scan it now and then with MB. It was still malware free when I nuked it to install Linux all those years ago.

I remember reading about their product—it wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst either. about this i am not sure but IIRC their antivirus engine were also used on F-Secures antivirus.
