Kaspersky Labs security products have always had a great reputation for accuracy, but you’ve had to spend real money to get protected.
Kaspersky Free changes the rules by making all the core Kaspersky technologies available for free, to everyone – both personal and business users.
The program covers all the antivirus essentials, including real-world scanning of files, web threats, emails and instant messages.

Unsurprisingly, the program still leaves out a lot of Kaspersky technology. Top of the list is probably Safe Money, a secure environment for protecting your web shopping and banking tasks. There’s also no System Watcher, which can roll back some malware actions, perhaps helping to recover files encrypted by unknown ransomware. Bonus extras like webcam protection and the anti-banner module have been dropped, and there’s no technical support beyond what you can find on the website.
