zanderthunder Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 According to forumers at MalwareTips, it seems that the announcement is aimed at Russian users, but no news about users outside Russia regarding the discontinuation. Plus, no date was fixed yet by them and it seems the decision made by them are regional-based. https://malwaretips.com/threads/kaspersky-lab-discontinues-kaspersky-free.101826 However, Kaspersky Free seems to be still available for now, this screenshot comes from a Romanian forumer: My guess is that if KFA is replaced by KSCF in future: 1. Users currently using KFA will be given choice to upgrade KSCF for free or opt for paid subscription such as KAV, KIS, KTS. 2. KAV, KIS and KTS will eventually no longer allowing users to downgrade their product to KFA. Till then, wait for decision to be decided internationally.
