Kaspersky launches free antivirus

Kaspersky has launched a free antivirus, called Kaspersky Free.

'Kaspersky Free' must have taken them a long time to come up with that name

Interesting.

This should dwarf Avast

Kaspersky Covfefe edition for those where the Russian package is not banned...

Is Kaspersky not one of the bad ones where you need a 3rd party tool to purge your system of it?

So what is the best free AV? Avast?

I have not had a virus for years and years. I do use MSE, just in case.

Not in my experience... I quite liked it until I realized I didn't like actually paying for it
