AOL now serving up Kaspersky AV for Free.
From Digg:
Is this a sign that AOL has gotten a clue, or just amazing luck on the part of Kaspersky? AOL is now distributing a basic version of Kaspersky Antivirus for free under the moniker “Active Virus Shield”. Stripped of some of it’s next gen features, it still gives the user a power antivirus engine for Free.
I for one am rather shocked at this partnership, as I never through I would ever see anything like this come from AOL of all places. You can download the new product from http://www.activevirusshield.com, while the full FAQ from Kaspersky is available here. Either way, solid move on AOL’s part and who knows, Kaspersky might become a real player to put the fear into McAfee and Symantec.
