MOSCOW, July 26 — Russian software developer Kaspersky Lab announced the worldwide launch of a free antivirus Kaspersky Free, company’s head Eugene Kaspersky said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve some fantastic, earth-shattering-saving news. We\u2019re announcing the global launch of Kaspersky Free, which, as you may have guessed by the title, is completely free-of-charge! Oh my giveaway!” Kaspersky said.<\/p>\n

The free antivirus is competing with its commercial versions that have more features, the company said, adding that the work on the antivirus took a year and a half.<\/p>\n

“Last year, the product successfully piloted in the Russia-Ukraine-Belarus region in China, and also in the Nordic countries,” the company said.<\/p>\n

The company’s free antivirus will initially be available to the US, Canada, and many of the Asia Pacific countries; in September to India, Hong Kong, Middle East, Africa, Turkey and Latin America; in October to Europe, Japan and South Korea; and in November to Vietnam and Thailand. The launch of the software coincides with company’s 20th anniversary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
