Someone wants to push people off Kaspersky. Counter-intuitive as it is, everyone in the west should use eastern (russian/chinese) anti-viruses and OS, and vice versa. That way, it'll be harder for each government to abuse and spy on their own citizens since I doubt Kaspersy entertains any request from foreign govs.
I don't trust my (US) government not to spy on me. But I don't trust the Chinese or Russian government not to spy on me, either. I'm not sure that they have my interest at heart any more than my own government does, and maybe less.
I don't consider myself at much risk for being locked up because some dumbass in a Russian "anti-terror" spy agency misinterprets a joke among friends. The Russians don't have the only "anti-terror" spy agencies staffed by dumbasses, however.
Is that the conclusion? Or should you use Kaspersky because other anti-virus vendors aren't really doing anything but compiling and selling software with a TM stamp on the name?
