Note: The pricing structure for antivirus services can be complicated, since providers often offer low introductory prices to entice you to sign up for their services. Windows-targeted malware has a larger base of devices to infect, giving it more potential in the eyes of cybercriminals, so all our antivirus picks work on Windows. Windows devices make up three out of every four laptop or desktop operating systems, according to the latest data from Statcounter. It's all too easy for a hacker to access your personal information, and that's why you should always invest in protection.
It's so important to regularly check your computer's health to save yourself from headaches in the future, whether they be from scammers or your computer just not working as it should. Posts about anything else - even if related to Kaspersky - will be removed.No matter how good you think your computer is, it can still be susceptible to viruses and malware without the best antivirus software running. It’s purpose is to announce the fix and track anyone who may still be encountering it. Note: Please only reply to this thread if you’re still encountering the issue. Any error messages or logs displayed (screenshots would be ideal if possible).Brave version (Channel/build and version number).What action triggered Kaspersky (were you downloading Brave, updating, installing different build, etc).
If you find that this is the case for you, please reply to this thread and include: While it looks like this long-standing issue is coming to a close, it’s very important you notify us should Kaspersky block your Brave install. The fix should apply to any and all release channels/binaries available on our GitHub. Users should already begin to see this change reflected and Brave should no longer be flagged by Kaspersky AV when downloaded, installed or updated. However, we were recently notified by Kaspersky that they’ve scanned all the necessary binaries and cleared Brave as “safe”. Correspondence has taken a while and we apologize for the wait and inconvenience. We have been in contact with Kaspersky for quite some time. We first received reports of this all the way back in September when we opened our Beta channel to the public. As you may know, many users attempting to install or update Brave on their machine have had Kaspersky flag it as “malicious or harmful content”.
