Kaspersky is a Russian company. No thank you.
I wouldn't install it even if I would be paid.
"paid" schreibt man das.
Why would you use kaspersky?
anti virus is scam. Or malware themselves
kaspersky is a virus
Never pirate anything that runs with any privilege, that means antivirus, VPN etc.
Also, why use an av?

If you're going to make your system worse, you should also combine with Norton anti virus too.
Either that, or just use the Microsoft one that is free
This is the piracy community so I'll write it out:
If you are pirating software you probably need an antivirus and windows defender is easily bypassable.
Only reasonable purchase for anti virus are for companies where all it could take is one weak link for a hacker to cause all sorts of trouble. Common sense is best AV.
That's an asinine statement to make and suggests a lack of common sense.
Any website can be compromised, even if only for a short time and zero click zero-day vulnerabilites exist. Companies are not the only ones at risk from this or the only ones with something to lose if their system gets compromised.
Common sense is important but not enough (and evidently not common enough).
Only AVs worth your time are:
common sense
an open source ad and tracker blocker
MS Defender if on Windows
ClamAV (or nothing like most people) if on Linux
Also, I wouldn't trust Kaspersky with anything important personally. It's from an older interview but...
If you had the power to change up to three things in the world today that are related to IT security, what would they be?
Internet design--that's enough.
That's it? What's wrong with the design of the Internet?
There's anonymity. Everyone should and must have an identification, or Internet passport. The Internet was designed not for public use, but for American scientists and the U.S. military. That was just a limited group of people--hundreds, or maybe thousands. Then it was introduced to the public and it was wrong…to introduce it in the same way.
I'd like to change the design of the Internet by introducing regulation--Internet passports, Internet police and international agreement--about following Internet standards. And if some countries don't agree with or don't pay attention to the agreement, just cut them off.
