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.

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

Also, why use an av?

[–] [email protected] -5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This is an offical beta version.

"Why use an av?"

Sadly, because JavaScript exists.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh oki.

About js. Why not just use something like ublock+ noscript + Firefox

Kaspersky is a Russian company. No thank you.

Why would you use kaspersky?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago

anti virus is scam. Or malware themselves

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

what are the additional features in this method ?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 7 months ago (3 children)

But why would I need it?

I’m mentioning this because I’ve noticed that Kaspersky is a common choice among many PC users I know. This might be useful information for those who are considering their options.

Additionally, when searching for antivirus recommendations on platforms like Reddit, Lemmy, or YouTube, Kaspersky frequently appears as a highly regarded option.

I have only seen people recommend against Kaspersky for years.

I haven't found a serious critic that didn't rely on fucking racism yet. If the only real argument is "rUsSian cOmPAny bAD" but you're ok with USA companies, you're just braindead.

I don't even use windows for that same reason, but if a windows user asks me, based on past experiences with low end computers (where you can actually tell the diference), I'd always recommend kaspersky for performance and malwarebytes for precision.

Pro tip: Downvotes without arguments only prove my point.
