As someone who very much does dabble in software some would consider "less than trustworthy", I really appreciate Kaspersky's ability to distinguish false positives from actual threats.

[@AviatingRandom]

[@zilverman7820]

Truee. I even tried it on a cracked game from a legit site its not detecting any threats on it because there are no virus included in it.

[@carnivorebear6582]

It looked like a couple keygens/cracks were included in the malware samples and did execute correctly

[@notjustforhackers4252]

As someone who very much does dabble I love running it in a WINE sandbox and not worrying about something that cannot execute on my host. Don't need AV software over here.

[@carnivorebear6582]

@notjustforhackers4252 it'd be a real shame if some ransomware decided to access your z drive... or of it started doing stuff on the network to other devices, among other things that would still work under wine. Wine's not exactly on the level of running in a virtual machine. You can configure access to make it more sandboxed but it's not 100% foolproof against stopping malware spreading/affecting. You may also get a false sense of security if a malware's payload doesn't run correctly in wine. Also, if you are using a cracked .exe for a program that doesn't run correctly under wine, how can you validate it?

BitDefender is used by the NSA along with other western AV's (has been leaked by E. Snowden), the best AV is Kaspersky, because it is not connected to the NSA and USA. So you will not have your data leaked at a moments notice ( just remember if you are using Windows , you have to also turn off Windows trackers manually. A clean Windows install does way more spying than any other AV, or a virus would ever do).

Kaspersky probably the only anti virus that has genuinely protected my computers, Avast used to be good but once it started allowing malware to infect my PC and sub-sequentially hijack my email to spam lots of ads, that was probably when I just gave up and went with Kaspersky once and for all despite the price of it, at the end of the day, its a small fee to pay just so I wont have to keep backups once a week to prevent this nonsense.

[@SyncF]

I was about to type the exact same thing. Avast is decent too, but I started paying for Kaspersky years ago to have a license and full on security, haven't had an issue since, I can torrent my media as well, and the second i get some hidden miner or anything that can damage any files, Kaspersky is there to save the day for me. I haven't done a Windows reinstall on any of my 3 computers running the program in like 13 years lol. It's doing its job, might be the only AV software that isn't a complete resource hog either. Competent program for sure.

[@SMGJohn]

@@SyncF Yes thats another critique of Avast, past 4 years its really started to bloat when it comes to resources uses, my old 2011 gamer laptop was starting to choke a bit with Avast, but I never see Kaspersky hog the resources, only when it does its scan once a month and it seems to know when I am not using the laptop and does the scan in those hours, pretty neat, I just hope its not Putin watching me through the webcam
