[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 878341, member: 83059"] It was, and I don't really care to speculate on whether the scandal itself is true or not. What I'm highlighting here is what you are giving Kaspersky permission to do by joining KSN, spelled out by their legal document. It is quite broad. Personally, for the ways I use my Windows machines, I'm okay with it. But I don't think the average person that installs Kaspersky is explicitly aware of how much information the application is allowed to collect about your computer and your activities, especially if it sets off KSW or the signature engine. EDIT: I am in no way singling out Kaspersky. F-Secure is the product I'm most familiar with from a privacy policy standpoint, this was just a point of comparison. I have no doubt that many other cloud AVs have similar data collection to Kaspersky. [/QUOTE]
