Suggestion for Kasperski
Windows User
I think they should separate the company into regions that only use the application in different regions and share the profit. But they would store the data in that region, and manage it according to local laws, and each region does not share any data with the other regions. As it stands, I would not use the product no matter how good it is. I think it is effective, but I have other concerns with it.

Outstanding Antivirus

Outstanding Antivirus and its detection rate are the best. 5/5 Detection rate. Even handle all ransomware viruses. I recommend to everyone just switch your antivirus to Kaspersky. You will see huge difference.

never got any issue with it,all usa doing is propoganda as they did same with huwawei becouse they want you to use internet security of their choice so that they can see in your system and get control whenever they needed ,track you & that was not possible with kaspersky.

Newbies defending their right to be spied on.. Lol
Mac User
The bad reviews of this article are very funny... Russian Trolls spotted again... Claiming you "didn't had a problem in years" is not the point... The point is the suspection of spying.. Of course they don't care about the average "Joe Newbie User" , but the point of this program is to discover the *rare* notebook with sensitive data and phone home.. So "Joe Newbie User" in his boring suburb will not see ONE bit of a problem, but "Peter The Engineer" working at Lockheed Martin will trigger the thing..

What kind of insane tripe is this review?
Windows User
No one has provided any evidence to substantiate these claims. Kaspersky, on the other hand, has taken drastic steps to increase transparency and accountability. This is paranoid, jingoistic pandering at its worst.

What is this? How is Kaspersky a virus if ti disables NSA backdoor in Windows? That's the reason US labeled it as a "security threat" because they found their backdoor and disabled it.

I will put it plainly , Zacks is either a brainwashed simpleton or a paid propagandist . This review is complete nonsense ( Rachel Maddow, is this you ? ) . Even the US government used Kaspersky up until the anti Russia propaganda war started . Kaspersky is number one in the world , I have been using Kaspersky Internet Security for years , it has never failed me . . There is no controversy except for the manufactured controversy by people like Zacks and out government , Kaspersky is absolutely trustworthy , read other reviews , you will see what a sham this so review is .

im tired of this
Windows User
well it's always US and Israeli cyber-researchers. Political review, some fool as that trump
I'm sick and tired of this crap, you think US don't spy and i don't want to talk about israeli maggots.
It's the same with Huawei mobile phones, they are banned in US, the reason is that noone will buy Iphone shitty phones.
You go Kaspersky your the best security, not some US internet security that they force you to buy some crap internet security.

A) Somehow I doubt the Kremlin would allow Bit Defender to guard their Missile systems either.
B) Kaspersky was cleared of any wrong doing and even offered to testify before a U.S. Congressional hearing.
C) As an American - I ...Show More

Do you believe that Russia is spying on U.S.? It's true.Do you believe that U.S. is spying on Russia? It's true.
Do you believe that U.S. and Russia are spying on their citizens? It's true.
There must be no fanaticism and we must not participate in the political games of governments,media and perverse journalists,we must have an open mind.Now we comment on Kaspersky and the users want to learn about.Kaspersky is the best protection ever and completely protects the computer from any threat and infection,no other antivirus can achieve this so effectively.However,Kaspersky has a single disadvantage,significantly slows the computer.Only for that reason I don't use it anymore.
