Hi everyone
Which one do you prefer?
Which does have better proactive protection, signatures, network and internet protection (i do care about this part) and runs smoothly and light on the system (i have a SSD)
I can buy both just 7$

Additional note: Let's not talk about Privacy as we know both of them don't have a nice history (BTW, avast a little worse :))

I am also not from Russia.
Interviewed several of his friends who live there and are aware of the security situation
- everyone says that KIS is cooperating with Federal Security Service.

Sure, Kaspersky is cooperating with FSB most likely... But so are Norton, McAfee and Microsoft collaborating with FBI/NSA/CIA so what's the big deal? These are things you should expect, not be surprised about.

EDIT: And TBH I'd use the exact opposite logic. If you're average American or European Kaspersky being Russian should be appealing to you. The same way if you are average Russian you should find Norton being American or ESET being European as a plus because there's less of a chance they are directly sharing your data with your own country's intelligence services. But as I said, this probably won't matter cause Microsoft is sharing your data with local intelligence services most likely anyway if need be. At least in the west.

Most users do not have confidential information like State secrets etc. which can be used by these companies to further their home country's agenda. If you are one of them, then it is an entirely different case.

Is that reliable or rumor-based?
