I dont think so, even if they do it comes from Usa so I dont need to say anything else.

Edit: It hurts when russian antivirus is better than any USA antivirus

Conspiracy theory.

Conspiracy theory.

No one knows ); It can be good or it can be bad for privacy No one knows it ( Even eugene kaspersky maybe doenst know it )

If anything we should be concerned about the US government's ties with MS, but, again that's just conspiracy theory.

I disagree Avira sucks because it depends on signatures

The US and Russia have always had a rocky relationship so this isn't surprising news at all. Like I say you can guarantee MS have very close ties to the US government but we still use Windows.

Like I say though the same could be said about MS and the US government, but we still use windows because we know at the end of the day all of this is just politics and propaganda.

Edit to add: Thank you for the share it was a good read. I think we can all do ourselves a favour by letting governments argue with each other.

@Xsjx aren't you afraid of the German government spying on you through Avira?

we all chose to invite security companies to our backyard.

I didn't vote, because I don't feel that it's a matter of explicit trust for me to trust an a-v/security program to use for my purposes. I would trust Kas on my PCs, but I don't know if it's a good idea for the US government to trust them. I don't believe they are spying for anyone, because the consequences would be too grave if the company were caught.

If anything we should be concerned about the US government's ties with MS, but, again that's just conspiracy theory.

Personally this concerns me far moreso, because these two entities can become dangerously dependent on each other. Throw power blind megalomaniacs in the mix and who knows what can happen. Who would know better how to hack Windows than MS? All they need is a few seconds during updates or of standard operating system run-time and they can have anything they want more or less. MS doesn't inspire much confidence with their EULAs, especially ones like the OneDrive EULA...

And honestly , how can you imagine a giant tech company from a country wouldn't "help" the said country to spy on others and gain financial and politic advantages... if i was a CEO of a giant tech, man , i would spy on everybody ? why?

because :

1- "knowledge is power"
2- if i don't help , other will do and i would be a target instead of the predator.

makes perfect sense why Appguard is getting all those Homeland security awards now!!

Appguard won for efficiency which is proven 10 times here, not just because they have a big wallet spending for test labs...

did i really have to include a /s at the end ?

 

[Deleted member 178]

No , but some people may misunderstand you

Anyway i am biased when it comes to Appguard , because i don't see a better product , and i have tested a lot of them.

Well said.
