Is Kaspersky Anti-Virus Spying for Russia? - Comments Page 3

Considering the failures of the government employees and their ability to keep information secure makes the statements about Kaspersky a mute issue. Why do people not pay attention to the owner of the Russian server group's statement about the computer address in Germany.

I use Kaspersky on most of the computers in my house (I use Trend Micro on one), mostly because they have great deals on multiple copies of the software.
I would note that when installing, Kaspersky objects to the presence of Comodo firewall software (which identifies outgoing as well as incoming threats), so who knows. But I run them both anyway, so I'm not too concerned that Kaspersky might be phoning home.
Their service people are local to me in the Boston area, and I have been to their offices here and heard their sales pitch. I'm satisfied that there's nothing untoward about their software.

Too bad some posters have gone off-topic to bash President Trump so that the poster feels better. I, for one, look to technology forums to get information that is useful. Scrolling through non-related posts is a waste of space. Other Trump bashing forums are out there, so go there to vent and posture.

The anti-Russian fever sweeping the nation is starting to bear the stench of the Red Scare during the McCarthy Era in the 1950s. The one difference is that Soviet communism has been dead for more than 25 years -- and that both Washington AND Moscow have heads of state with a disturbingly nationalist authoritarian streak that come dangerously close to fascism. History has proven again and again that neo-fascist nationalism leads to wars. The famed Spanish-American philosopher George Santayana warned, "Those who fail to learn from the past are condemned to repeat it."

Great! Another balanced and focused article from Bob Rankin.

Frankly, I'm getting tired of the "unnamed sources", investigations that our government is doing that have no basis (or they're not willing to tell us what it is), and all the other subterfuges that are happening now. Whether the President started it all or it's pure negative politics, they "representatives" that our tax dollars pay for should be transparent if there are issues and not start witch hunts. There are significant issues to be addressed and anything else is mishandling of our money. Sounds like this Kaspersky issue falls into the much ado about nothing category.

There are NO evidence against Kaspersky, JUST Russophobia.Have anyone ever seen any evidence ? Have anyone EVER seen any evidence of Russian interference in US elections ? BUT, there are evidence that NSA was spying on Germanys Merkel and the French president and others !
I would NOT trust Norton or any US software, that is why I am using Kaspersky ! Instead of Facebook, it is much more secure to use VKontakte...Twitter is censored by Liberals. I am sure Windows have backdoors to NSA....
