[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 878458, member: 83059"] That is correct — I am a software developer and a lot of my sensitive work does involve compiling and running brand new binaries — the kinds of things that KSN might collect. I would be doing myself and my clients a disservice to have that extricated and I totally understand the KSN terms as well as why this kind of uploading benefits their product and my security! Just as an example, if I found some random free movie watching program, that’s something I distrust. It’s not touching this computer at all. That’s not how I regard Kaspersky or any other security product. I trust particular products like Kaspersky, ESET, Emsisoft, etc to do only things I agreed to let them do. But some products like ESET and in particular Emsisoft do not automatically upload anything to the cloud without me submitting it. Emsisoft says they will ask you for permission before reporting something to the anti-malware network. I would be willing to use that cloud service on this machine. But at the end of the day I like the protection of Kaspersky, even if I have to run KSN in the passive mode on one of my machines. [/QUOTE]
