Regarding pricing for a single device, Kaspersky Standard starts at $59.99, while Kaspersky Plus and Kaspersky Premium cost $79.99 and $89.99, respectively. First-time Linux users are eligible for a discount of up to 40% for the first year.
Kaspersky for Linux supports 64-bit Linux distributions, including Ubuntu 24.04, ALT Linux 10, Uncom 2.3.5, and RED OS 7. The company provides its installer in DEB and RPM package formats. The minimum system requirements will be a joke to some. It asks for a Core 2 Duo 1.86 GHz processor, 2GB of memory, 1GB of swap space, and 4GB of available disk space.
Kaspersky emphasizes that the Linux version does not meet GDPR compliance standards. Like competitors, the company offers a 30-day free trial of Kaspersky for Linux, allowing you to evaluate the software before committing. At an annual cost of $59.99, Kaspersky for Linux presents a challenging proposition, particularly within a community where antivirus software is not a priority and political opinions are divided. Additionally, ClamAV—a widely-used, free, and open-source antivirus solution—remains prevalent within the Linux community.
