Kaspersky Lab Affiliate Programs

2006-07-20T13:25:00.000+03:00

Kaspersky Lab provides affiliate partnership thru two internet systems:

Commission Junction system

Element5 system

Commission Junction system
If you aren't already a registered member of Commission Junction you must register with them. It is better to use the link from Kaspersky Lab Affiliate page. You will be requested to enter your personal data, your site description and how you like to receive the money. The moment you complete the registration you are ready. I would advise after changing the password to change the minimal amount of money you want to receive each month, since in many cases you would pay some fee.
Go to "Get Link" section to create and copy html code for the link you want to put in your site. It can be a banner

or simple text link Kaspersky Lab Online Store .

Element5 system
I will describe the use of Element5 system with other affiliate programs.

Beta Testing Kaspersky Lab Products

2006-07-20T10:13:00.000+03:00

Kaspersky Lab is a well known developer, producer and distributor of information security solutions. Kaspersky Lab provides products that protect information from viruses, hackers and spam for home users and enterprises and offer consulting services and technical support.

From their site:
"Founded in 1997, Kaspersky Lab is an international information security software vendor. Kaspersky Lab is headquartered in Moscow, Russia and has regional offices in the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Japan, China, Korea, Romania and the United States. Further expanding the company's reach is its large partner network comprising over 500 companies globally.

Our products are certified by West Coast Labs and regularly receive awards from leading IT publications and testing labs. In 2003 we received the Microsoft Gold Certified Partner status for Security Solutions. Kaspersky Lab is also a proud partner of SUSE and Red Hat. Experts from Kaspersky Lab are active in IT associations such as CARO (Computer Antivirus Research Organization) and ICSA (International Computer Security Association)."

Kaspersky Lab has a dedicate page for beta testing http://www.kaspersky.com/beta and also forums for each product that currently in beta testing.

When you register only your Full Name, Company and Email are required. Also you should select whether you want to participate in quality assurance surveys or not.
After filling the form you are sent to their FTP server to grab the beta product installation and the activation key.

Kaspersky Lab doesn't promise any benefits for participants in the beta testing, nor the ability to use the beta product for the infinite time. All the programs in beta stage stage are available for testing. The most popular products are the Kaspersky Anti-Virus and Kaspersky Internet Security. I advise not only to test them, but also to buy them, they are really great products.
