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.

        Tbh Linux is kinda enough. Difference between a computer and a human is that you can limit what goes in. Also most viruses are for windows, the equivalent would be covid only working on Asian people that ate the bat or had sex with the people that did.

          Linux is not enough, that’s a dated mindset.

          Most viruses these days are mobile in nature which gives you a 50% shot of which *nix you’re on. You’re either on a Unix like os based on MacOS or heavily modified Linux kernel.

      umm, shouldn’t you elaborate more? imo opinion using Kaspersky can save a lot of newbies getting into piracy, so what experience is making us hate on it on forums and discourage using it? I’d understand if you said you prefer Malwarebytes which is American based I think and the best competitor out there to Kaspersky. But saying that AVs are scams is simply not true by logic and by experience.
