Hi

 

I have Windows 10 Pro on my HP laptop and using Windows defender. I see the Kaspersky AV offering a free version. Should I really use it or will it impact my laptop in anyway?

 

regards,

Way better than Windows Defender, for sure.

I use Kaspersky's free anti-virus on my machine at home. Honestly, it works fine. It does scheduled scans, automatic updates and also block malicious URLs. Honestly, I have no complaints about it.

Stop and think a second, something is more than nothing.

I tried many free AV like Avast, Avira, Kaspersky, AVG and even Panda, all have their own issues but I find that Avast is decent
