10 Kaspersky Lab Tools for Windows that Don't Cost a Thing
If you want top notch protection for your Windows computer, you can’t go wrong by getting something developed by the internationally renowned security company Kaspersky Lab. The problem is that… Kaspersky Lab’s best security solutions aren’t free (and some of them aren’t cheap either).
Still, if you’re unwilling or simply can’t afford to get a paid product, Kaspersky Lab has plenty of free tools to offer. Like the 10 tools listed below.
1. Kaspersky System Checker
Finds malware, checks for system-related issues, presents system information.

4. Kaspersky Secure Connection
A VPN that will protect your communications, privacy and data whenever you’re online.
Using a VPN comes with three main advantages: your connection will be encrypted and thus protected against snoopers or hackers, your real IP address will be hidden away, and your location will be spoofed. Although the paid version of Kaspersky Secure Connection nicely covers all of these, the free version comes with a few limitations: a data allowance of 200MB per day (up to 6GB per month) and automatic VPN server selection.
Kaspersky Secure Connection has VPN servers all over the world: Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Republic of Ireland, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, USA, Ukraine, and United Kingdom. But unless you get the paid version, you won’t be able to manually select the VPN server you want to connect to.
