I don't want to become off-topic, but, speaking of Northguard, the new Kaspersky clone, here are two fun-facts, if I try to download one of their AV's, I receive an 404 error:

Also, they offer remote support, like Bitdefender with their "VIP" services, but still, their links give 404 error for me, so probably the website is still in construction.

Maybe it's exclusive to Denmark only at the moment!!! Do we have any Danish member here? Also someone may try by connecting to a Danish IP if available via a VPN.

Nope, I found the bug. You need to access the Danish version of the website, not the Englishone, that's why the links didn't work, they didn't create the English pages for their products.

Instead, if you enter on an AV page, you'll see an "Contact us" button, you need to contact them first, and then they'll probably give you a download link.
