It’s true that the US government flags Kaspersky as a Russian security risk, but that designation has no bearing on Kaspersky’s product line makeover. However, its new layout of long-scrolling pages can make finding the feature you’re looking for tough. Kaspersky Plus, reviewed here, is brimming with security, privacy, and performance features. #KASPERSKY REVIEW FREE#Its new line includes the Kaspersky Free antivirus and three levels of security suite-Standard, Plus, and Premium. It’s uncommon for an antivirus or security suite to get a new look, and even less common for a company to completely change its product line. #KASPERSKY REVIEW UPDATE#Security companies update their products all the time in unseen ways, tuning them to fight the latest malware. Because we have not found any hard evidence of misdeeds on the part of Kaspersky, however, we continue to evaluate and report on Kaspersky’s products for those who wish to decide for themselves. However, based on the increasing censure and criticism of Kaspersky by US government agencies, foreign agencies, and informed third parties, we can no longer recommend no longer recommend Kaspersky’s products.
