Antivirus Guide & User Reviews.

Kaspersky has recently launched a free version of their AV & it is quite good(especially with RAM & runs quite light). On my system though it reduced my downloading/uploading speed so I uninstalled it but it maybe because my OS install is quite old(~6.5 years) with some old issues.

Avira free is also very good or you can use Avast free(do configure it properly though for maximum protection & minimum resource usage).

Use revo uninstaller to uninstall any previously installed av, clean temp files and then retry. Which os are you using?

Free version's installation requires you to be connected to internet. Get it from Free Kaspersky Security Tools | Free Downloads | Kaspersky Lab and try again.

Check that your system & BIOS/UEFI date are correct.Also check the digital signature of installer by right clicking it & selecting properties--digital signatures tab.Select the digital signature from the list & then click on details button to verify it is OK.If all these are correct then issue maybe with kaspersky activation servers as unless they verify the installer,it will not be able to download anything from kasperky servers.

You are using an older version(check the highlighted version in above pic).Security software usually revoke digital certificate for older versions for security purpose.

ok.
I downloaded new version from here..
kfa18.0.0.405aben_13362.exe
Index of /english/homeuser/kfa2018/

still same problem.

It is because you are trying to download it from wrong locations.Just type kaspersky antivirus free in google search & 1st link is from Kaspersky India from which you have to download.I just checked & installer is working fine with correct digital signature but of course version number is different than the one you just downloaded which is obvious as it is not the same installer.

I don't know what exactly happened, but everything is ok now.. installed it successfully...
meanwhile windows defender did great job (underdog).

Can you recommended me any Antivirus which does not silently send data from your PC to their server like AVG do?

(AVG send data unless you unmark from settings).

I think every av does send data until and unless you change that setting. I bet that they still send some data even if you turn that setting off.

 

[whitestar_999]

All AVs now-a-days rely on cloud/internet support for their maximum/optimal protection.Also AVs give you option to specially give permission to "upload" suspicious files but there will always be some amount of scanning of some files present in hdd but all the data sent is in anonymized/personally non-identifiable form.If you are paranoid to even trust AV then it is better to not use windows at all & run a personally compiled & configured linux setup.

If a person is truly "Security paranoid" you are really ought not to use Windows at all and stick with *Nix.

What was your experience regarding this Internet Suite?
If you feel satisfied( I MEAN TRULY SATISFIED) with its functions and usage for the past year, renew it.
