​Regarding Kaspersky's connection with the Russian government, here's new info from PCMag: "The US government has banned sales of Kaspersky security products in the United States. Kaspersky’s credibility with the US government has been in decline for years. As far back as 2017, the Department of Homeland Security directed federal agencies to stop using Kaspersky. Almost five years ago, the Federal Acquisition Regulation Council enacted a policy forbidding federal agencies to purchase Kaspersky products. Even bug bounty clearinghouse HackerOne, a one-time Kaspersky partner, cut ties with Kaspersky in 2022. Also, in 2022, we at PCMag stopped recommending Kaspersky’s products, though we continued to evaluate their efficacy. Well, that era is over. You shouldn’t buy Kaspersky products now. In fact, you can’t." That's why I removed their products from my list.

Free: Avast One Basic Best free (4.5), Avast free (4.5), AVG AntiVirus Free (Same engine as Avast and Norton) (4.5) Note: It is very difficult to assess the performance of antiviruses. Each has their strengths and weaknesses and the test sites are often contradictory, so that's why I stick to what PCMag recommends, because it takes into account not only their tests, but also of all those on the market.
