Antivirus Options in HK

[paddylast]

Was going to renew with Kaspersky but they've kind of annoyed me. I clicked on the notice to renew but it says their standard pack is unavailable (must be sold out of activation keys) and only upgraded option is available for maximum 1 year deals.

Then, I googled it and seems if I put down the UK as my address, there are 2 year options and it's cheaper than 1 year in HK. I decided not to do that because the activation key probably wouldn't work, even with VPN.

Then, I googled Kaspersky HK as I wanted to order as a new customer to see if there were more options. Seems they have any amount of deals starting from $131HK. However, the HK website is not available in English it seems.

Why do they insist on f**king existing customers?


Anyway, if I go and buy an antivirus in a physical shop, is that actually the simplest way for someone who gets agitated online, and more importantly, will it be in English?

What do you guys do?

I don't bother with antivirus because I use a Mac. I think if I used Windows I would probably rely on Windows Defender

Back in the days of uTorrent antivirus was a must, used avast, not so much these days if you're careful not to click odd links

I’m fine with Windows Defender and a VPN.

Ukraine,Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Lithuania, Romania, U.K., Canada, USA have banned Kaspersky. Some other countries advising not to use.

Kaspersky is the best in my experience

Seems Broadway are out of stock. These randomly generated activation codes are not as easy to produce as one might think.

The guy also suggested Kaspersky will not be available there anymore.

Went to a local shop and they have eset for 299 for 3 years. Never heard of it but after a little research, will likely just go with it.
