The main Russian developer of anti-virus solutions, "Kaspersky Lab» (Kaspersky Lab) presented its first fully free antivirus with a straightforward name kaspersky Free.
The main advantage of this program lies in the fact that in reality Kaspersky Free is a simplified version of the multiple prize-winner of various competitions Kaspersky Internet Security (KIS). The latter is almost everything: parental control, technical support by phone, Internet payment protection from Trojans protection blockers screen and rubble viruses. It can be put on a Windows, Mac, and Android - and all this using a single box.
But Kaspersky Free devoid of any extra features. This antivirus software is necessary and sufficient for the modern user. Strictly speaking, there is everything that was in the "Kaspersky Lab" program 5-6 years ago: antivirus himself with scheduler checks the file monitor add-in for your browser, Mail Anti-Virus and IM-check customers (Messenger). free antivirus for Android-devices, you can download separately if desired.

When you start the program will offer to read the license agreement and will begin downloading the necessary files from the Internet. After the installation will only choose a Windows program to protect against virus threats by default.
In Kaspersky Free registration required. To do this, simply click on the button "Register", then the program will suggest installing notify friends in social networks and start work. Later, during use, the antivirus will offer up again, but this time will send the user to a website to create an account (which, however, came to nothing obliges).
Although antivirus software is claimed to be completely free, in the lower right corner you will notice information on the term of the license - 365 days. What this means - is unknown.

Most likely, the second since the start screen of the program always offers to buy the full version.

And the trip is available for both automatic checks files that are permanently stored, and for additional components individually, including the monitor, checks open files in real time, IM, postal or Web Anti-Virus.
As in the full version of Kaspersky Internet Security, Kaspersky Free is available in the game mode: when you run certain programs antivirus is automatically turned off to reduce the load on the processor. Priorities for the work in the system are also available for customization.
The menu has many familiar security levels: low, medium, high, with detailed settings of each profile and select an action on threat detection and verification of external devices.
Due to the absence of extra functions Kaspersky Free works much faster paid version of KIS. However, when properly set priorities (such system to work quickly enough) check my drive capacity 32 GB took almost two hours. On the other hand, in the background program is almost imperceptible. So it has all the chances to become the best antivirus program of the year, repeating a long-term success of the KIS in comparisons of paid antivirus.
