Kaspersky Lab discontinues Kaspersky Free!

[Xjoker]

Today I read in a russian forum that Kaspersky stops providing Kaspersky free soon and suggests users to move to other paid solutions. I found the same information in the official russian website of Kaspersky. If that's true it's very sad news!

Does it include just the antivirus (Kaspersky free) or also KSC free?

In the forum they say that KSCF will remain but in the official website it's wrtitten that you need to move to paid solutions, nothing about KSCF is mentioned. Maybe @harlan4096 knows more about it.

Hopefully it's just Kaspersky antivirus free (which got discontinued last year but was still available for download).

That's best news for me today because I just install KSC Free. So relieved now.

Hum I have no news about it, except the already old news about KFA would be discontinued and replaced by KSCloud Free...

I hope they 'll keep KSCF!

It's just Kaspersky Antivirus Free. They've been discontinuing it for a while in favor of their Cloud Free edition. Don't think they'll sack this one.

Who knows, this can be a strategy only for some countries. So waaaaiiitt before crying

"There are a lot of users who don’t have the ~$50 to spend on premium protection; therefore, they install traditional freebies (which have more holes than Swiss cheese for malware to slip through) or they even rely on Windows Defender (ye gods!)."

Pretty aggressive...
