Kapersky SCAM
Android User
I had Kapersky in 2018. I was not intending to renew. This morning, Sunday, March 31st, I received an email from Kapersky claiming "success" on my purchase, and charged me $84.99. In the email there was a link to my "supposed" order where I was able to download an invoice. The invoice said the charge was $49, not $84.99, and even had my home address incorrect. When I attempted to find contact information for Kapersky, I discovered I would have to call Russia. Recently, my existing Kapersky opened up something called "password manager". It wanted me to allow it to collect all of my password's. I was not able to "back" or "close" it. I could only get out by opening my "task manager" and shuttting down the program. BEWARE Kapersky! It has chan...Show More

Mrs. Zacks, you desperately need help.
Kaspersky Product Lineup For Windows
Windows User
I absolutely agree with your review for ALL of Kaspersky Product's package (specially K. Lineup For Windows). It is a truly harmful product for Windows and mobiles. Furthermore, it should be banned from the EU market as well.
Kaspersky is great, and Ms. Zacks' review is a hatchet job

I don't remember reading a IT-related review written as maliciously as this one. My experience with Kaspersky Antivirus is fantastic. Before Kaspersky, I have used several free av programs (Avast, AVG, Avira, etc). Then I switched to Kaspersky Free Antivirus, and it was obvious to me that Kaspersky is superior. Now I use Kaspersky Total Security, and it's great. It's easy to use, light on resources and offers many additional features (VPN, firewall, protected browser, password manager, etc).

I just tried installed Kaspersky (trial) to my laptop, it have annoying notification and I uninstall it right away.
Aaaand boom!!!
Kaspersky blocked my internet connection (I can't connect to wifi even with Ethernet cable)
I tried to download (from my smartphone ofc) some drivers to fix this problem but it's not working.
I have to reinstall my windows to fix this problem.
Very amazing virus with antivirus uniform!

This woman knows nothing

Do not listen to this tech illiterate SJW woman. Kaspersky is among the best AV's you can buy (they do have free version too). This is just lame attempt to play the Russian conspiracy card (BTW SJWs, Mueller already proved your fake news nonsense wrong). Either this woman is a paid shill, or she simply is so gullible as to believe the baseless accusations. The real reason the US government is so mad about Kaspersky is because the software was able to find US government developed malware and the US didn't like it so they want the product banned.
A biased and xenophobic review.

You fail to mention that Kaspersky also has an user forum. I've used both Norton and Kaspersky products (not at the same time) and they are both excellent products. As the Technical Director of the UK's NCSC stated in December 2017 (See report at https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/blog-post/managing-supply-chain-risk-cloud-enabled-products) it is far more complex that just a blanket ban of excellent product A from bad county X. Kaspersky's products have consistently excellent reviews from numerous institutions in various countries. You just adopted a lazy, biased approach to your review instead of actually looking at all the evidence instead of just blindly reprinting articles from various newspapers.
You also can't uninstall it!

I had system resource problems. So, I began uninstalling programs. When I uninstalled Kaspersky Free Antivirus, not only did it leave most, or maybe all, of the folders and files in my program files but I could not delete them. I tried LockHunter but it couldn't unlock them or delete them even when it said it would delete them on restart. I finally went into safe mode to delete them. Thank God I know how to do that but I'm wondering if they can use the files left on computers to track users' information. I would not put that past them. I had the same thing happen with Avast. Do they have any Russian ties?

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.
