Kaspersky vs 2000 Malware

[@Maple38]

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.

[@juanfigueroa4989]

I have used several antiviruses like Norton, AVG, Panda, Bitdefender and Avast, but all ended slowing my computers over the course of years until i tried Kaspersky some years ago and never went back. The protection havls been excellent with no performance hit. The other day i dowloaded what i thought was a real mod for a game but it started to make random files and add troyans, Kaspersky detected and rem 4:44 oved all. This for the free version so i have not tested all of the features.

[@SMGJohn]

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

I don't think there's much use of it to the Russians anyway, unlike for the NSA and USA, where they control,track and block your transactions, and freedom of speech etc. if you "don't follow the flow". At which point you are either "sharing" your personal data with Russia or with USA (all modern western AV's share data with the western intelligence agencies as was leaked by Snowden). And I would never trust USA in a million years. As I've already been caught up to the censorship a million times, feels literally like I'm being watched the whole time, and not allowed to say anything at this point. Let alone do something what they might consider controversial... i. e. not support the LGBT+ in my local church, god forbid I must be a criminal... by their logic, and should be stripped of all my rights, and eventually be put behind the bars... The deep state is already doing it to Trump, what can a normal citizen do ? we literally have no rights at this points but to follow the general agenda being fed up by the higher ups.

[@noixdecoco-q8f]

⁠@steiner554It does call Russian IP’s but some Kaspersky employee’s blog debunked it and explained why that was the case « This is not the damning evidence you think it is. Some government websites are located behind a DDoS protection proxy operated by Kaspersky, that’s all there is to it. Any insinuation that Kaspersky and the Russian government are so tightly interwoven they share the same IT infrastructure is technically illiterate at best, intentionally misleading at worst. It means Kaspersky sells services to the Russian government. Like DDoS protection, malware analysis trainings (I know) and antivirus protection (I imagine). What did you expect? Russia is not our only government customer. »
