Kaspersky should have moved to Eastern Europe years ago. I just don't know why they have stuck around Russia for so long. ESET antivirus is an excellent virus/security and it's in Slovakia.
ESET is a good AV but I think the closest to Kaspersky is probably Bitdefender - Kaspersky is probably marginally better, but it's only a cigarette paper between them. But where Kaspersky scores again is that it's very light on a PC's resources. I don't quite understand the point about "why they stuck around Russia for so long" (Russia is the 4th biggest economy in the world and growing rapidly - Source: The World Bank and others). Incidentally, the online services that Russian consumers have at their fingertips for services like banking, transport, payment, online shopping and delivery, etc., etc. are years ahead of what their counterparts in the US and Europe have. The Russians make the greatest apps. VK (the Russian version of Facebook) is vastly superior to Meta's offering. It has a much better UI, much better features, and (not surprisingly) vastly better security than Facebook. Google Maps is years behind Yandex Maps which has a better UI than Google's app, more accurate mapping, and various real time navigation information that Google hasn't. Yandex Translate is also far better than Google's offering. Pavel Durov designed and built VK, and later Telegram. After leaving VK, it's quite an interesting story about how he tried to base Telegram in the US, but in the end left (taking the company to Dubai) to protect the security of his app and the privacy of its users.
@@grantchallinor5263 - Yeah, Bitdefender appears to be the main replacement for replacing Kaspersky. Just purchased Bitdefender off of Amazon to replace Kaspersky. I guess we had better accept that the Soviet Union is back and so is the cold war.
Kaspersky is best and might be able to use with VPN set to Russia or another free country. It is also important to show that we are free people and not idiots and mindless zombies who only do what the US regime says.
and i remember zdnet publishing all kinds of junk about kaspersky. since beginning of time. and promoting norton and mcafee. and yeah, kaspersky is kgb colonel reportedly.
I lived it. But I got the information about Kaspersky from German white hat forums, not from ZDNet. 25 years ago. Norton and McAffee have had a bad reputation for a long time, too.
fun how naturally americans see “government interference” as something only others (the baddies) do… the good news is: a lot of this has much more to do with a “moral justification” for market protection
Lol you think flight paths of us based dji drones is going to reveal anything that they don't already know? China has satellites just like we do that can take clearer photos of areas than our flight paths can reveal.
As a US Citizen, would you rather have the US government or Russia have your data?
That’s a good question .
Option C
either. nobody shuold have your data in fact.
Not a US citizen but honestly, I’d prefer the Russian’s. Just so you don’t have your own government creepily spying on you
When it comes to people's info, both countries are into it.
The only software that detects Pegasus spyware? Hell no!

I don't doubt this one

I stopped using Kaspersky already in 1999. Kaspersky had had its second user data leak to Russia already back then.
Screw that. Im keeping mine

Very important, DJI next please
