[QUOTE="DeepWeb, post: 778435, member: 63811"] Here's why I switched to Kaspersky. I realized that the reason why the US government was triggered by Kaspersky was the fact that this company is actually doing its job. The software was caught to recognize keywords such as tip secret and the codenames of secret government malware which tells me Kaspersky is actively looking to find government APTs so that they can program defenses against them which is exactly what they should be doing. This bothers the Five Eyes of course because they don't want their spy software to leak because the moment Kaspersky detects it, it's over and back to the drawing board. This is really a testament. The US government doesn't think that the other AVs are even a threat but this one bothers them a lot because there would be no need to ban Kaspersky unless they were actually effective at finding government malware. There's no doubt that the FSB hacked Kaspersky but so did the NSA, GCHQ and Unit 8200.
