You can use kaspersky beta versions for free by downloading and installing it from their forum.

As a side note, after you install it you need to disable the debugging options once to get the optimal performance.

Kaspersky is a Russian company. No thank you.

I wouldn't install it even if I would be paid.

"paid" schreibt man das.

[-] krolden@lemmy.ml 22 points 6 months ago

Why would you use kaspersky?

[-] WeLoveCastingSpellz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 6 months ago

anti virus is scam. Or malware themselves

[-] hurtn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 6 months ago

kaspersky is a virus

[-] sleepybisexual@beehaw.org 10 points 6 months ago

Never pirate anything that runs with any privilege, that means antivirus, VPN etc.

Also, why use an av?

If you're going to make your system worse, you should also combine with Norton anti virus too.

Either that, or just use the Microsoft one that is free

This is the piracy community so I'll write it out:
If you are pirating software you probably need an antivirus and windows defender is easily bypassable.

But I think Kaspersky already offers real time protection on the free tier

what are the additional features in this method ?

[-] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 1 points 6 months ago

Only AVs worth your time are:

common sense

an open source ad and tracker blocker

MS Defender if on Windows

ClamAV (or nothing like most people) if on Linux

Also, I wouldn't trust Kaspersky with anything important personally. It's from an older interview but...

If you had the power to change up to three things in the world today that are related to IT security, what would they be?

Internet design--that's enough.

That's it? What's wrong with the design of the Internet?

There's anonymity. Everyone should and must have an identification, or Internet passport. The Internet was designed not for public use, but for American scientists and the U.S. military. That was just a limited group of people--hundreds, or maybe thousands. Then it was introduced to the public and it was wrong…to introduce it in the same way.

I'd like to change the design of the Internet by introducing regulation--Internet passports, Internet police and international agreement--about following Internet standards. And if some countries don't agree with or don't pay attention to the agreement, just cut them off.

Only reasonable purchase for anti virus are for companies where all it could take is one weak link for a hacker to cause all sorts of trouble. Common sense is best AV.
