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.

    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.

      No.

      No Russia in my house, No China in my house and no “anti virus” software.

        You do realize where 99% of pirated anything comes from, right?

        No China in my house

        You do realize where 99% of stuff is manufactured, right? The device you are using right now has components made in China.

          Ew a pro China person.

          Taiwan is a country!

          Also most cracks are from South America nowadays. Russians did many as well, but the crackers aren’t likely to be affiliated to the government and dont fund a war.

            Correct, doesn’t change the fact a lot of stuff is still made in mainland China.

              doesn’t change the fact a lot of stuff is still made in mainland China.

              Which doesn’t change the fact that you can do your due diligence to avoid purchasing things made there? That is their point, afterall…

              Lot of stuff, but you can mostly avoid it when you are aware of it. You cant look into everything but you don’t need to buy stuff you know is likely infested with winnie-pooh.exe it’s the quantity that makes the poison deadly, limit the amount of China intake to live a happy and sustainable life.
