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.

Why would you download Russian Software even for free, that stuff is a bigger security threat than any other virus.
I downvoted because I think this is not true. Kaspersky holds a company in UK and their reputation is the best so far in terms of efficiency, service and respect to terms with costumers. And from my experience pirating software (including video games) it is better than Windows defender in that it has less to no false positives, and detects the actual malware. Hell it even saves the system after being infected, I am told this by 2 friends and my brother.
And it offers real time protection on the free tier so it beats Malwarebytes in this aspect.
I downvoted because its a Russian company and anti-virus are a scam in general.
umm, shouldn’t you elaborate more? imo opinion using Kaspersky can save a lot of newbies getting into piracy, so what experience is making us hate on it on forums and discourage using it? I’d understand if you said you prefer Malwarebytes which is American based I think and the best competitor out there to Kaspersky. But saying that AVs are scams is simply not true by logic and by experience.
No.
No Russia in my house, No China in my house and no “anti virus” software.
You do realize where 99% of pirated anything comes from, right?
You do realize where 99% of stuff is manufactured, right? The device you are using right now has components made in China.
Ew a pro China person.
Taiwan is a country!
Also most cracks are from South America nowadays. Russians did many as well, but the crackers aren’t likely to be affiliated to the government and dont fund a war.
Correct, doesn’t change the fact a lot of stuff is still made in mainland China.
Which doesn’t change the fact that you can do your due diligence to avoid purchasing things made there? That is their point, afterall…
Lot of stuff, but you can mostly avoid it when you are aware of it. You cant look into everything but you don’t need to buy stuff you know is likely infested with winnie-pooh.exe it’s the quantity that makes the poison deadly, limit the amount of China intake to live a happy and sustainable life.
welp, can’t argue with beliefs
Cool pic, glad i sparked some controversy.
Pic is mine now.
is this an anime?
yes it is from Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song
beautfiful page on mal, added on my plan to watch list
Great… The anti-vaxxers figured out how to use Lemmy.
Tbh Linux is kinda enough. Difference between a computer and a human is that you can limit what goes in. Also most viruses are for windows, the equivalent would be covid only working on Asian people that ate the bat or had sex with the people that did.
Linux is not enough, that’s a dated mindset.
Most viruses these days are mobile in nature which gives you a 50% shot of which *nix you’re on. You’re either on a Unix like os based on MacOS or heavily modified Linux kernel.
You can uninstall an anti virus not not the covid vaccine.
Lmao
No. Once a System is infected you cant trust it anymore no matter what you do. There are many FUD (Fully Un Detected) viruses out there that cant 100% surely be found. You dont know if the found virus has infected the machine with some of these. Its a big red flag that this option is available in kaspersky. Save your data and set up a new system is the only correct, nearly 100% save option.
I mean that the three story tellers downloaded infected software that locked the system but downloading Kaspersky unlocked it. One was LaTeX packages the other little nightmares 2 the game and my brother downloaded a design software.
The LaTeX package made the system unusable and encrypted data, asking for money for decryption. (windows7)
The game also made the system unresponsive and started uploading data, additionally social media accounts pf the owner were hacked. (Windows 10)
In both scenarios the owner didn’t have Kaspersky and downloaded it only after infection, and it made the system function normally again. Although it didn’t decrypt the files in the first case.
In the case of my brother his social media accounts were hacked and system started dying but he just relaunched Kaspersky (he paused it cuz crack asked him to do so lol) and the system survived functioning as always (although he had to rescue his accounts manually).
While it is debatable whether Kaspersky actually cleaned all the malware from the system, we can agree that the fact that system was rescued for the user to prepare for the re_installation is a good service.
Kaspersky has been shit for at least 15 years.
There was a huge fiasco with them in the early 2000’s.
Why would anyone use their garbage today?
