Yes, Kaspersky offers a free version of their modern software. It provides the same core antivirus engine as their paid version, missing only the VPN, password manager, and parental controls. It is fully updated for 2024 threats.

The smarter move is to uninstall the legacy software, enable the free protection already available on your system (Windows Security), or download the official free tier from Kaspersky or other reputable vendors. When it comes to internet security, the cheapest option shouldn't be a cracked file—it should be your safety.

It still features the robust firewall and "Safe Money" technology that made Kaspersky famous.
