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 had a serious fiasco in the early 2000's, that's good enough for me.

Once a software vendor demonstrates theyre untrustworthy, why would I risk using their products?

And spare us from the sophist personal attack on people you disagree with.

At worst it's jingoism, except there's no question of there being significant Russian efforts to meddle in the US and other countries.

How are you using windows then? They've had innumerable security breaches, not to talk about how MS demonstrates again and again that the only thing they care about is money. Does "trustworthy" mean "american" or "only sells my data to the USA gov and other US companies" then sure, it is trustworthy as fuck.

Of course you will invalidate that with some mental gymnastics, but this same thing happens even with freaking usb (charge only, mind me) cables from aliexpress, with people saying they have fucking chips to spy on you. Again, racism.

Try to put it however you want, but hating anything that comes from one place just because of that, then adding excuses is fucking racist.

except there's no question of there being significant Russian efforts to meddle in the US and other countries.

And here comes the grand patriotic justification for racism! If you really don't have shit to say about the actual software, just block me or something and spare me from your presence :)
