Malwarebytes vs Kaspersky

I’ve always been leery of Kaspersky due to the Russian hack stories.

Kaspersky. Stay away from MWB

I just wanted to say that no matter what your final choice will be, you can actually have both of them installed in your system at the same time. Especially the free versions.

I have always used both since I updated Kaspersky Security Cloud and I had to pay .

I used free MWB to scan pc without RTP and free Kaspersky for RTP and scanning. Now I can only use defender for realtime protection lol

As a security professional, I wouldn’t trust it further than I could throw it. On top of that, Kaspersky is [considered a national security threat by the United States](https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/26/22997532/fcc-kaspersky-list-national-security-threats-huawei-zte).
