I have heard about that one before, but I look all around their
web site: http://www.kaspersky.com/, and the best I can find is
labeled "free trial," which doesn't sound like free ware to me.
It has to be free ware, or I do not list it, as you can see.
I only list links to programs that are completely free of
charge, or include free ware versions, like the link to "AVG," and
"superantispyware," which programs come in more than one version,
including free ware, but also including options to download trial
ware, or to purchase commercial ware versions. That's fine, but
if they ever stop including the free ware version of their fine
programs, then that link will get deleted off the list.
"AOL" is notorious for ad ware and such, and they are a third
party. I would never include any links to "AOL," not under any
circumstances, not even if the most trusted experts on the subject
say that it's ok. I do not trust "AOL."
