    Your bank will usually give you Kaspersky or Bitdefender for free 
    Name these banks.
    Do you use the banks you say do this?
    Nearly all banks do if you are paying the account fee.

    I've got accounts with 30+ banks, not aware of any that give away such software (apart from the dreadful Trusteer Rapport from Santander).

    Please name these generous banks that are giving you free stuff.

    Barclays used to include Kaspersky as a "benefit" with some of their packaged (paid) bank accounts. As far as I am aware they no longer do. I wasn't a fan and now rely just on Windows Defender. Touch wood, no problems that I am aware of.
