In all the time that has passed since my first acquaintance with the Internet, I have repeatedly encountered all kinds of malware, Internet worms and viruses.
Everything is learned by trial and error. Same with antiviruses... I've tried a lot of them over the years: Norton Internet Security, Eset/NOD32, Avast, Bitdefender, MS Security Essentials, Kaspersky Antivirus, Kaspersky Internet Security, Dr. Web, Comodo Antivirus, AVG, Avira, Panda.
And I had to deal with different versions of these products on different operating systems: from XP to Windows Seven.
Of course, it’s difficult to give a definitive answer as to which antivirus is the best... There is no better one! - There is good antiviruses, there are mediocre ones, there are bad ones. And also - paid and free.
A significant criterion for choosing a particular product is the OS, its bit capacity, Hardware(CPU, RAM, disk subsystem speed).
Quite often, friends contacted me with problematic laptops. As a rule, Avast or Dr.Web were installed on them. And in both cases, they misfired and let malicious content through.
Many friends, and I myself, were skeptical about Kaspersky Lab products, which were famous for their resource intensity. Over time, it just so happened, having become disillusioned with the software of other developers, I switched to Kaspersky Lab products, at that time it was the 6th version.
Over time, I occasionally tested other products, but they all did not meet my safety requirements.
However, all this helped to clearly determine the choice of product; Kaspersky Internet Security became it. Kaspersky Internet Security is a fairly powerful security package, but this security comes at a price with real money... and system resources. But it's worth it!
Kaspersky Lab products are rich in settings, so even if you are a confident PC user, I would recommend studying the instructions for the software. Studying the instructions will help you optimally customize the product to your individual requirements.
From the official website you can download full-featured versions that will work for 30 days without purchasing a license.
Today, I would like to invite low-demanding users to try Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2012, a somewhat simplified version of Kaspersky Internet Security. We are talking about the Yandex version, the license for which is valid for 6 months.
Absolutely free, for 6 months, you get a fully functional Kaspersky Anti-Virus.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2012 is a solution for basic computer protection against malware. The product provides real-time protection against major information threats - both known and new.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2012 includes:
- Antivirus
- Spyware protection
- Rootkit protection
- Virtual keyboard
- Anti-Phishing
- Rescue disk
- Desktop gadget
Hello friends!
Last night the annual license of Kaspersky Anti-Virus expired. As usual, I reached for my Visa card to extend this bliss for another year; –).And then I remembered that while recently reinstalling the operating system (OS) for a client, I came across some new free version Kaspersky from Yandex. I didn’t attach much importance to this, but the word “Savings!” was imprinted in my head in fiery letters. Dima, remember this!”
I went online and what I found made me very happy. Judge for yourself:
What will we receive as a gift?
1. Free license for 6 months. I will correctly note that some people reinstall Windows every six months for preventive purposes :)
2. After 6 months, if you renew your license using Yandex.money, then you get a 20% discount. That is 320 rubles.
3. Whatever one may say, I can say from experience that Kaspersky protects home computers well and is constantly developing. And brakes are a thing of the past. (As I remember 2003... in order to play Warcraft 2 I had to disable protection)
4. For me, the savings will be 800+320 = 1120 rubles. That is, for the same money (even less) I got 18 months of license instead of 12. Agree, a very good saving. (Let me remind you that Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 has a price of 1,600 rubles for one year for two computers. But I can get by with all the features of KIS for 6 months)
But there are also limitations of the free version:
1. The anti-virus database is updated once every 12 hours. Not paranoid, this frequency of updates is enough for me.
2. This is the 2011 version. Well, no big deal at all. People also use much more ancient and exotic versions.
3. The laboratory does not provide technical support. But for some reason in 5 years I have never asked for technical support. There wasn't even a reason. Moreover, I can’t even imagine where exactly I should turn for support.
5. This offer can only be used once per computer. I wonder how they can track reuse on a fresh OS?
6. The offer is valid only in 2012. But it seems that the promotion will be extended in 2013.
Where can I get it?
2. Click on the huge “Download” button
3. Download installation file– weighs approximately 188 MB.
4. Next, we perform the standard procedure for installing the program. We agree with everything and follow the prompts. Nothing complicated. (Just remember to uninstall the previous protection program first - otherwise there may be a conflict between the two protections)
Yes, I can already hear exclamations about the fact that there are free antiviruses, etc. But... everyone makes their own choice about what to use. For example, my friend does not use virus protection at all. He's on Linux.
But I made my choice in favor of LC 5 years ago after long and painful experiences with other manufacturers of such software.
The anti-virus solution from Kaspersky Lab and the Yandex search engine is completely built on the basis of the usual Kaspersky antivirus Antivirus.
Important! Kaspersky Yandex version no longer works when updating antivirus databases an error appears: “Your license is blocked!”
We would like to remind you that any user can download Yandex browser for Windows 10, 8 or 7, and use the built-in virus protector absolutely free.
Any actions to reset the trial (license period) do not lead to anything, because the license will be blocked as soon as Internet access is available. As one of the users correctly noted: “The freebie is over.”
What is the difference, you ask, if this version built on the regular Kaspersky antivirus platform? First of all, of course, this is the license period; in this version, the period of use of the Kaspersky Yandex version is exactly 6 months (six months) and is free, while the regular version is offered for a whole year, but for a fee, about 1000 rubles. In any case, half a year is also quite a long time for the free basis of such a popular antivirus today, which is no longer used only on desktop computers and laptops, but also on tablets, smartphones and other digital devices. In addition, upon completion of the free 6 months of the license, you can get an additional six months of using the antivirus.
Today, Kaspersky offers serious protection for all digital devices that can have access to the Internet, and no matter what operating system is installed on the device, Kaspersky developers have made their own software for each shell. You can download antivirus for any device absolutely free, but you can use it for no more than 30 days, except of course the Yandex version, here after downloading and installation a whole 6 months of use are available.
