[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 988729, member: 83059"] Kaspersky’s wording is more permissive than most in terms of what they ask to collect: This is way more than, for example, F-Secure which does not collect full paths and only sends executable malware, not even documents or macros stripped from documents. This kind of data is very beneficial to malware analysis, but the double edged sword is that it pretty much paves the way to extract anything and everything from your machine if they either decide to or are forced to configure their heuristics or KSW in bad faith.
