The Russian software developer Kaspersky Lab announced the launch of a free antivirus downloadable worldwide, said Eugene Kaspersky, founder and CEO of the company. "I have a fantastic story and shake the world: we announce the global launch of Kaspersky Free, which, as you might have guessed from its name, is absolutely free! Giving it for free! "Eugene said, as reported by Sputnik, Wednesday (26/7). Even so, Kaspersky Free, which was launched exactly with the company's 20th anniversary, has fewer features than its commercial version. According to Eugene, antivirus workmanship takes one and a half years. "Last year, this product has been successfully tested in Russia-Ukraine-Belarus, China, and also Nordic countries," said Eugene. Kaspersky Free for the first time will be available in the US, Canada, and many Asia Pacific countries. Then, in September it will be used in India, Hong Kong, Middle East, Africa, Turkey, and Latin America. In October and November, it will then be available in Europe, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and Thailand.
