Kaspersky - Barclays

bengalknights

So im one of those people who used to get free Kaspersky licences free from Barclays, however now that they no longer do this does anyone know of any banks offering free security software or very good free alternatives?

if using win10 use the built in windows defender. don't waste your money on third party av. more important to keep your os up to date imo

Windows Defender is a pretty basic one, I normally install some free AV, like Avast or BitDefender, although in my opinion the more careful you are on the web, the less you depend on antivirus.

I think that's £4.85 more than the op wants, or needs, to spend though.

Or maybe it's an option worth considering if OP is happy with Kaspersky.

Windows Defender is perfectly fine. It was such a relief to get rid of increasingly annoying programs like Avira.

It's as good as Kaspersky and beats AVG in detecting stuff

I still don't know why people pay good money for something that they don't actually need.............
I have never paid for AV security.

i wouldn't put kaspersky, mcafee etc on my pc even if they paid me.

the truth is starting to come out as to the relationships they have with each other/manufacturers/retailers/comsumer companies to promote/protect there businesses
