[QUOTE="cartaphilus, post: 1092830, member: 99742"] "Kaspersky Lab has been trying to prove its innocence with measures such as its [URL='https://www.computerweekly.com/microscope/news/252441114/Kaspersky-to-make-life-easier-for-partners-with-transparency-plans']Global Transparency Initiative[/URL], which moves some of the company's processes out of Russia and to Switzerland." Who cares where they move to and how open their code is. It's not what's in the code but who is in charge of the code. The code can be clean as a whistle but if it uploads sensitive files to it's database and then the people behind the curtain use those files to inform their handlers then that's a different story. yes the same can be said about any other antivirus company. However, US is not in sensitive data competition with the other AV companies; sure Chinese AV can be said to do the same but Chinese AV is not as widely used as KAV was. I mean how many of your friends/coworkers are using a Chinese AV vs how many were using KAV? [/QUOTE]
