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.

My Antivirus program, Panda Internet Security, is running out soon. It’s been pretty good, I’ve used Panda for years, and I’m thinking of switching. Maybe just for a new experience, maybe because I could save some pennies. Panda has been one of the more expensive of the handful of internet security options that Microsoft have recommended over the last few years.

I heard that Kapersky Internet Security is a good program. I went to Google shopping, and searched for offers. The price is O.K. anyway, at around £23 (British pounds), though there are O.E.M. versions in the Google shopping list at nearly half this price. Checking if O.E.M. is legal - it seems it depends on the license that each program is issued to the company selling it under. So, it seems that if you buy from a reputable company, they will know what they are doing and won’t be breaking the terms from the software company.

But people warn against buying O.E.M. software which isn’t supplied with a machine or for your own build, because you don’t get typical support for the program. Is that for real?

What would be the point of selling O.E.M. antivirus software, legally, with a 1 year license for use with updates if you weren’t entitled to the antivirus support? Like sending a virus your computer is suffering to the software co., and allowing the software co. (if the offer it) remote access to your machine to help it.

What happens here? Please advise me if you know, and if you are someone who has bought O.E.M. antivirus programs before and know about the support available. Especially if you know about Kapersky. I’m all for the sale of O.E.M. software where it’s legal - the redundant programs that companies have bought in good faith, in bulk usually, would just be left sitting there, with user licenses intact, if they weren’t sold on. And it would seem silly not to buy cheaper O.E.M. if it’s as good for you as the retail versions.
