Are there any differences between them in 2022? When I click the “Kaspersky Security Cloud - Free” link, it downloads the Kaspersky Free version. I had to google for the actual security cloud link, which is, https://www.kaspersky.com/downloads/try-free-cloud-antivirus.
Should I install the cloud or regular version or go to another anti-virus?
Kaspersky Free provides a similar level of protection as Security Cloud Free. It’s based on their new platform, as found in Basic, Standard and Plus.
Free leaves out the trial VPN and Password Manager installations, that were in Security Cloud Free, and has a far cleaner GUI. It’s an excellent free antivirus.
They’re basically the same
Another point in favour of Kaspersky Free is that it has better offline detection rates than KSC Free.
