Hello, about 4-5 months ago my friend recommended me to get Kaspersky as he also used it, when I told him from where he downloaded it, he told me that there was a free Kaspersky version that I can probably find on YouTube, so I searched on YouTube something like "Free Kaspersky version", after opening one of the videos and watching it, I went to the description where I found the download link: https://www.kaspersky.com/downloads/free-antivirus, I opened it and checked if it was an official link or not, the domain should have been the official one, I even copy & pasted the last part (subdirectory or path) of the link and pasted it to the official Kaspersky domain to make sure it wasn't a fake link, then I tried to find this download page from the Kaspersky homepage to check if it was by the official Kaspersky or not, but I couldn't find it, I downloaded it anyway because my friend just said that it was safe and the official link, after that I opened the file and I setup Kaspersky fully, then I checked the expiration date, and it was going to end in a month, so after like 3 weeks of using Kaspersky, I checked the expiration date again and it became longer and it gave me 2 months extra, then after it almost expired again, the same thing happened, I didn't think much of it until I watched a YouTube video about some fake Kaspersky versions that were being spread around that were actually malware, this video was from a YouTuber I remember watching before knowing about Kaspersky, so I don't think it's a problem with the algorithm.
Sorry if this was a dumb topic/post, I just find it confusing why I couldn't find that Kaspersky version from the main webpage and why the expiration date keeps getting longer and never ending, and I am scared if it was an unofficial version somehow.
