Just wanted to share this simple way to use kaspersky for free
News
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.
Why would you use kaspersky?
anti virus is scam. Or malware themselves
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.

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.
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?
kaspersky is a virus
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.
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.
what are the additional features in this method ?
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.
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.
Microsoft Defender is good and free, but it is heavier on system resources than any reputable AV. Kasperskey is near the top for least impact on system performance.
Interesting. Do you have links that support your claims that I can read up on?
why would I need the best Anti Viruse ?
Hahahaha
You must be too young to remember the shit show Kaspersky had in the early 2000's.
I forget the details, but it was clear Kaspersky had become like Norton and the other formerly great names.
