For the last two weeks each and every fan of official Kaspersky Lab Facebook pages worldwide had the chance to ask our CEO, Eugene Kaspersky, anything at all (and we must say that some of our fans took this literally:)) Thank you for the hundreds of great questions! There's nothing more valuable in this world for us than your feedback and ideas on how to proceed with our quest to Save the World in the most efficient way. We've selected the most interesting and edgy questions of yours and asked Eugene to answer them with his usual honesty.

This is why we decided to do it globally. We offer a set of free products that will ensure basic protection of your PC.
