As safe as using any other antivirus software, if you dont trust the Russians you shouldnt trust US software either.
Not to mention, all user data is processed in switzerland, meaning privacy wise Kaspersky is actually better than almost all other antiviruses.

I have seen 0 evidence that compromises Kaspersky, just a lot of "coulds",

I wouldn't trust Kaspersky. Even if there are zero issues, might be better to look for an alternative anti-virus product.

Until proven otherwise I have no reasons to distrust them.

At the moment, I don't trust Russian companies. The situation Russia created makes me not wanting to give them any money. Just a personal reason. Perfectly fine if you trust them though.

This is a perfectly valid reason. As I said in previous comments there is a psychological aspect to choosing security software. If you don't feel safe with it, then change, but keep in mind that no solution will work 100% of the time.
I don't use Kaspersky now because it was silently blocking some elements in some pages I use for work even after I whitelisted them, causing them to malfunction. IIt also blocked my wife's work VPN even after I set everything to allow. If these problems are ever solved, I would have no problem going back to it.

I repeat what I already said once...

I repeat what I already said once...
I asked Kaspersky for the information during a discussion on a social network. It is true that I was also worried, and this is quite normal.
Kaspersky is a Russian company, but a private one.
Private companies are not subject to the Russian law that requires them to disclose data to the government.
Above all, Kaspersky has security and confidentiality standards, and was recently audited!
Then, if you are in Europe, Kaspersky has moved its servers to Switzerland. If you are North American, it is in Canada.
In short, if you use Kaspersky, you are not at risk at all.
Even if one day Russia is cut off from the world, Kaspersky has so many servers for updates and KSN that you won't notice any difference

Have you contacted with Kaspersky support to short out problems?

Yes. It was a problem with their network driver, they opened a bug report back then, but I couldn't really wait and my license was almost over, so I didn't renew.

I haven't tested it since the 2020 version, so I don't really know.

Personally, I think that if you feel any anxiety or doubt, you should refrain from using it. When anxiety builds up, it eventually grows into a delusion. It's not just about software safety, it's about the psychological impact on users, so it's not limited to Kaspersky Lab.

My only reason for ceasing Kaspersky is the 2022 upcoming new look version which I disliked for aesthetic reasons only, IMHO still one of the if not the best AV out there.
