许多用户寻找免费的杀毒软件^{(antivirus software)}。不幸的是，这种产品的利基市场主要是那些做不符合用户利益的事情的产品。例如，有些人试图将您的浏览器主页更改为由您的防病毒提供商^{(antivirus provider)}获利的页面。其他，捆绑破坏您隐私的垃圾软件或狡猾的工具^{(crapware or dodgy tools)}。但是，有一些防病毒产品^{(antivirus product)}不这样做，其中之一是适用于 Windows的最佳免费防病毒产品：^{(antivirus product)}

2018 年数字公民^{(Digital Citizen 2018)}：最佳免费杀毒产品^{(Best Free Antivirus product)}奖授予卡巴斯基

与商业防病毒产品^{(antivirus product)}不同，免费产品在为用户提供最佳保护方面没有那么大的竞争力。他们主要在营销方面进行斗争，并确保他们被尽可能多的人所熟知和安装。安装免费防病毒产品^{(antivirus product)}的人越多，其制造商通过各种手段（包括危及用户隐私或安全^{(privacy or security)}的狡猾手段）赚取的钱就越多。对于用户来说幸运的是，有一些公司远离阴暗的做法并开发了出色的免费杀毒产品^{(antivirus product)}。

在今年的测试中，只有一款免费防病毒产品^{(antivirus product)}获得了我们最高 5 分的评分（满分 5 分）。“2018 年最佳免费防病毒软件”^{("Best Free Antivirus 2018")}奖授予卡巴斯基免费防病毒软件^{(Kaspersky Free Antivirus)}。

为什么卡巴斯基免费杀毒软件^{(Kaspersky Free Antivirus)}是2018 年最佳免费杀毒软件产品^{(Best Free Antivirus product)}

直到 2017 年，卡巴斯基^(Kaspersky)都没有提供免费的防病毒软件。但是，当他们确实推出了Kaspersky Free Antivirus时，他们的表现非常出色。他们的免费防病毒软件没有其他人采用的阴暗做法。它不会安装您不需要的垃圾软件，它不会更改您的网络浏览器^{(web browser)}的主页和设置^{(homepage and settings)}，等等。此外，它还具有以下免费杀毒软件^{(antivirus software)}世界所罕见的特点：

• 卡巴斯基^(Kaspersky)拥有出色的防病毒引擎^{(antivirus engine)}，可以有效地保护您免受恶意软件的侵害
• 它在保护您免受在线威胁（包括网络钓鱼尝试）方面做得非常出色
• 它对计算机性能和启动时间的影响可以忽略不计^{(performance and boot time)}
• 用户界面^{(user interface)}干净，易于使用和理解
• 它捆绑了一个VPN 工具^{(VPN tool)}，可以在连接到您不信任的公共WiFi网络时保护您^(WiFi)

如果您买不起商业安全产品^{(security product)}，卡巴斯基免费杀毒软件^{(Kaspersky Free Antivirus)}是您可以为您的Windows计算机和设备做出的最佳选择。

Awards: The best free antivirus product of the year 2018

Many users look for free аntivirus software. Unfоrtunatelу, this niche of products is dominated by products which do things that are not in the interest of their users. For example, sоme try to сhange your browser's homepage to a page that is monetized by your antivirus provider. Others, bundle crapware or dodgy tools thаt comрromise your privacy. However, there are а few antivirus products that do not do that and one of them іs the best free antivirus product for Windows:

Digital Citizen 2018: The Best Free Antivirus product award goes to Kaspersky

Unlike commercial antivirus products, free ones do not compete that much in offering the best protection to their users. They fight mostly in marketing and making sure they are well known and installed by as many people as possible. The more people install a free antivirus product, the more money its maker generates, through all kinds of means, including dodgy ones that put their users' privacy or security at risk. Fortunately for users, there are a few companies that stay away from shady practices and develop excellent free antivirus products.

In this year's testing, only one free antivirus product received our maximum rating of 5 out of 5. The "Best Free Antivirus 2018" award goes to Kaspersky Free Antivirus.

Why Kaspersky Free Antivirus is the Best Free Antivirus product of 2018

Until 2017, Kaspersky did not offer a free antivirus. However, when they did launch Kaspersky Free Antivirus, they did in style. Their free antivirus has none of the shady practices that others resort to. It does not install crapware you do not need, it does not change your web browser's homepage and settings, and so on. Also, it has the following characteristics which are rare in the world of free antivirus software:

• Kaspersky has an excellent antivirus engine that can protect you efficiently against malware
• It does an outstanding job at protecting you from online threats, including phishing attempts
• It has a negligible effect on your computer's performance and boot time
• The user interface is clean, easy to use and understand
• It bundles a VPN tool that can protect you when connected to public WiFi networks that you do not trust

If you cannot afford a commercial security product, Kaspersky Free Antivirus is the best choice you can make for your Windows computers and devices.
