Any views on the wisdom or otherwise of continued use of Kasperski?


I sell it and recommend it. I think it is the best one out there.
Home support is outsources and isn't very good. Business support
is good. It is the only AV you should use for a Windows based
Point of Sale system taking credit cards

If you need to figure out who does the best job, go to
av-comparatives.org and look over about six months of
their reports. See who is consistent.

If you are worried about them being Russia, don't. All
the fur that has been flying is not their doing, but some
rather nasty politics in this country. They just got
caught in the middle because they are Russian.

Like ALL other AV companies, they do ask for your permission
(Kaspersky Network) to analyze certain infected files. I
just decline. Some idiot in government security opted in and
got some of his classified docs sent to Kaspersky. Kaspersky
immediately shredded them and informed the sender. And
there is an exploit claiming to be Kaspersky out there. It may
be our own NSA. But who knows. It isn't Kaspersky.
