Battle Best Indian antivirus company

[alakazam]

Which is the best Indian antivirus and internet security company? K7 Computing, Quick Heal or eScan?

K7 products are now free, until the coronavirus crisis is over and they increased the number of daily signatures updates too.

K7 Computing Private Limited

I just registered for a free license and this was in the confirmation email.

This is a pretty cool offer!
With all the malware extorting the Corona crisis, it's great to see a company offering temporary free protection.
I already bought two lic half a year ago, but I will profit from the raised number of signature updates (they did provide them hourly before, which was already good IMO).
I like the product a lot, both for lightweightness and unobtrusiveness as well pretty good protection, at least if you customize the settings. I further improved it by blacklisting common hollowed M$ processes in K7 Firewall which usually do not need any outbound.
(Side note: I just realized till end of April, it's actually 4 weeks, I cannot remember for sure, but I think it's actually the trial period...)

Yes that is the trial period. I hasn't registered when I first posted and then added that information later. Time will tell if they extend the offer. However, you can buy licenses for literally just a few dollars, from Amazon India.

I bought two on eBay, as the K7 shop wasn't working that time and my trial expired that day.

I've got a spare K7 Internet Security license. If anyone's interested, message me. It's a one year license which I purchased this morning.

It's an old product that is still on v15, whereas their other products are now at v16, but someone may have a use for it. I didn't realise this when I bought it.

Edit. I've given the license away.

Few questions:

• You were sold an older product version of the software?
• No refund possible from re-seller?
• Source of purchase?

"Please note that this special offer allows you to install and use our award-winning security product, K7 Total Security, with no payment till April 30, 2020. "

Average trial period.

Average trial period.

But they stated that if the outbreak and emergency continue, they will extend the subscription period.

Yes. I'm not too worried about a refund, because I only paid a few dollars at Amazon India.

I had quite good exp with Escan.No doubt with its decade errated interface but it's protection rules quite well.

BB is quite good.Also one of the few products that blocked Locky and few more at early hours proactively. I personally tested it's BB.Quite appreciable.
It's phishing protection is zero , it's Mal URL blocking is so so..with so so BD signatures.
Personally I prefer K7, though for using their own technologies, it did improve over the years.But still lags compared to leaders

Why are we all responding to an soon a year post?

The question is: why did you all ignore the thread when I posted it?
