I know that it's dangerous for one to have an unsecure wireless router due to hackers and harmless neighborhood hijackers. But what if one is DOING the hijacking? Are there any dangers for the hijacker?

I use Anti virus software for many years.At first I was a big fan of Mcafee and Norton until I discovered Kaspersky.I try to scan a computer with Mcafee and it didnt found nothing.I tried with Norton and it only found suspicious cookie.

Then AVG found 5 virus and finally I tried Kaspersky. It was able to delete more than an 100 virus that other antivirus couldn't find.
My only problem is that this software come from Russia, a country where international laws make local criminal laugh.Russians are among the best programmer in the planet on top before Chinese and Indians.They are the top coders and every years they beat north Americans,Europeans and chinese at problem solving competition.Most devastating modern computer virus come from russia.
All this make me scare that Kaspersky can be a spyware itself .and there is no organization that supervise softwares.I use it for a month,everything was great until the trial finish and I didnt purchase it.After that my computer became unsuable.

My sister was on the computer yesterday with her friend and ever since then the computer has been doing weird stuff. By that I mean every 3 or so minutes i get a pop-up saying their is harmful stuff on the computer and malwear(sp?). Other things pop up saying that i should download virus protection things onto my computer, and that i need to clean it. The thing is I already have virus protection with norton. I have scanned and cleaned the computer but the pop ups still keep coming, even when i am not using the internet. Sometimes if i have more then one thing running at a time (like word and the internet) it changes the page i am on to the other thing. I have also had a norton scan running now for over 4 hours, and it still has not found anything. also my pop up blocker is turned on so why is there so many pop ups. has anyone ever had this...how did u fix it....HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry if my spelling is crap btw :D.
