You need to log onto your online banking.

Select the products drop down at the top and you will see Kaspersky offer listed under solutions.

This will take you to the Kaspersky page for Barclays customers :thumbs:

Gone down hill recently.
their app scanning algorithm is far to heavy for most uses and causes delays and stutters.

I switched to Eset Nod32 and whilst a pay AV solution it is stunning (and found stuff Avast missed).
Also worth looking to use in conjunction with Malware Antibytes.

Try Microsoft Security Essentials. It's free and not too bad at all. Many of the paid-for AV solutions are now completely over-bloated.
