I want to buy Kaspersky Anti Virus but am Scare of Russian code warrior?

Question

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.

Have anybody had problem with Kaspersky after their long trial?Is there any U.S organization that study those foreign software to know if they are not dangerous for people?It look like its a very powerful anti virus and I would buy it but strange thing happend to me last time I use it.I want to be sure its not Kaspersky fault,anybody had similar problem?

Those answers are very reassuring but does Kaspersky allow Americans or any foreigner to examine their source code?Many software company refuse such possibility,Microsoft is among many like that.

Examining the behavior of a software cannot guarantee that the software isn't smart enough to behave in an certain manner to avoid being detected.Some program are even able to recode themself to modify data.A complicate security software like Kaspersky can easily have power on the resource of a computer to modify anything,including itself.

In my spare time I am a beta tester for just about every new antivirus/antispyware software that comes out onto the market.

I can assure that all of the antivirus programs that come out of Russia, including "Kaspersky", are 100% safe and will keep your pc secure. The same for China. I can tell you that all not all of the antivirus programs that come out of India, are safe as they claim. Plus fail to work as claimed.

Myself I have used an antivirus out of Beijing, China for the past ten years. The Govt. Of China, also uses this antivirus program. And I have never had one virus.

Plus you only pay a one time fee of $29.99 for life, that includes daily auto. updates an all new versions for life.

Here are the details, you can take the program for a test evaluation for thirty days. You will be given a thirty day registration key. After thirty days you must purchase the program.

Myself I find this program to be light years ahead of any other antivirus program on the market.

You might have made a mistake by asking this question at lunchtime (BST), there'll be lots of kids and computer illiterates saying till they're blue in the face about "AVG free is the best, and I've never had a virus..blah...blah." ignore them. I do have Kaspersky Internet Security 7, but as someone above have already provided you the reviews, all I can say is go for it, it's money well worth spending, and I can't really think of a major flaw with Kaspersky.

Answer 5

How do you mean your "computer became unusable?"

Kaspersky can cause some CHKDSK issues, and some people say it caused their hard drives to become very slow. I believe there are ways to reverse this. Just have a look through this post on the Kaspersky forums: http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showtopic=14995

It is very rare for it to cause any major issues, it usually only effects CHKDSK checks.

As for Kaspersky containing malware, absolutely no way. It has been tested by MANY organisations and used by millions of people - we would know by now.

Answer 6

There is nothing wrong with Kaspersky.
You can buy it and be sure that it's not any spyware in it.

Have a look at http://www.av-comparatives.org/
"On this site you will find independent comparatives of Anti-Virus software. All products listed in our comparatives are already a selection of some very good anti-virus products. In order to get tested by us, companies must fulfill various conditions and minimum requirements"

Answer 7

No cause for any concern. Kaspersky is a legitimate business and they're not about to kill their own company by spreading malware. Their products are tested by independent labs on a daily basis.

Answer 8

I don't know.if it comes from Russia but I do know that it is from the same makers of (zone-alarm Internet security suite) and that it is supposed to be even better than zone alarm (it's their most current after zone alarm which is very good and what I have, I too have not been satisfied with McAfee, or Norton but I really went out (way out) of my way to purchase zone-alarm. Did you try uninstalling it completely? after the free trail? then defragmenting your disk? before you download and install anything, your supposed to do a disk defragment then again after your new installation to maintain your computer optimized (prevents slowdown) of your computer.

Answer 9

Kaspersky Anti Virus is free (if cracked)
