Is it a problem if Unistal Kaspersky Antivirus license expired?

My license has expired. Only effect of that seems to be the message that the current anti-virus database was released 91 days ago and that a valid antivirus database is required for the application to work efficiently. I'm still able to perform scans and protection still seems to be enabled. So what's the problem if I don't renew my license? I just don't know what an antivirus database means and it doesn't tell the consequence of not having an older database.



I'm only bothered because my C: shows only 130 MB disk space no matter how many huge files delete permanently. A thought occured in my mind that may be after the license expiry the Antivirus software is not working correctly let alone efficiently.

An un-updated anti-virus program puts your computer at a HUGE risk security-wise.



Any anti-virus that is using a virus detection database that is 91 days old is about as useless as boobs-on-a-bull.



Dude, the "black-hat" malware coders release approx. 1200 new malware variants onto the internet, each and every day, 24/7. Without virus database updates, you will have no protection against these new threats.



Let's do the math....1200 X 91 = 109,200.



That's a hundred thousand threats that you are not protected against. Sure you save a few bucks by not renewing your license, but your computer is at risk and could potentially become unstable or unusable. Then about every other month, you can reformat your hard drive, lose all your files, programs and settings, and start over again.
