Free Kaspersky based AV software

I'm loving this AV...Aol must be paying them a lot of money to do this but it's great.

Free to everyone? How many times a minute does the AOL advertisement window pop up?

Ahhh...

Enter your email adress to get activation code. Do I want AOL spam? I could use my work email, but it probbaly would get filtered.

Ain't no free lunches.

So how bad is the spam attack I've got my finger poised over the download key?

And has anyne tried to uninstall it (successfully).

well, avg is definately a free lunch leejend

even though I'm an avg advocate, I value lordofla's opinion and I downloaded this, I always use an email account just for spam promotions from yahoo...invaluable

thing is, I love avg, I've intalled this on close to 100 computers and not one of my clients have ever gotten a virus

the reverse is true for norton

lordofla, avg is surely better then the virus reports and uses very few resources

does anyone have the memory footprint on this kaspersky yet?

I feel guilty giving up my avg, she has been so faithful

My Tablet is off at the moment, but I remember seeing something similar.

Plus you really can't go wrong with the KAV6 engine - it has consistently come out on top on pretty much every independent test I've seen so far. It seems like this thing pulls down new definition updates almost every couple of hours too.

This is pretty much the only free AV that I would consider using. Taking KAV6 and making it free is quite possibly the best thing that AOL has ever done. Now if they get a Vista-compatible version out soon, that'll be golden.

(P.S. I registered with my Hotmail account that I never use. They can spam me all they want. With that said, I haven't seen any increase in the amount of junk I receive in that box since I registered.)

I have never seen any pop ups or received any spam from giving email address. As far as memory usage this has been lower then even Nod32 once it settles down from startup scans and such.
