Ratings and reviews

I've been using Kapersky for years, and it has never let me down. It does exactly what it's supposed to without being a resource hog like Norton. Until recently, almost every tech site recommended this anti-virus comparing it with a half dozen others. Now, these sites never mention this program. It's on my phone and both home computers and twice, effectively caught and removed maleware saving my PC. I highly recommend even though it's a little expensive.

I seriously have tried every internet security software out there, and this always comes out on top. I always find myself going back to Kaspersky when the others let you down, and the renewal fees charged by others are criminal in a cost of living crisis. Just pure greed, in my opinion. I would say I have used Kaspersky on and off for 20 years. It's always been consistently better than others, whilst browsers will happily promote dodgy websites for the dollars. What you can do is use Kaspersky

just works; today, I was forced to update agreements, so I checked everything, have it now free on android, no issues, actually, I had never malware on mobile, as far as I remember, but many apps, mostly unused, but nobody knows if some updates will not bring some attacks, good to check the apps at least against cloud stats, manual scan of everything is okay, ... I had kts sub, but years ago I was forced to uninst, as pc win CHROME UPDATE FAILED... culprit was kts; ...somebody stronger?
