[dba-Tech] Kaspersky?

I have removed it from a number of PCs. Things worked better when I replaced
it with Vipre ;o)

I just installed Vipre (site license) into an office that had these products
on various pcs: Norton, McAfee, Kaspersky, Avast, Norman, Xysoft(?),
Adaware, AVG, Spybot and OneCare every PC had some kind of infection except
one of the two Avast PCs (on which the user is somewhat computer literate).
It was an attorney's office! I can't imagine what kind of information could
have been reaped from there via spyware.

Subject: [dba-Tech] Kaspersky?

I'm trying to clean up a friend's computer. A MalwareBytes scan is still 
running; it's found 211 infections so far. Some of the trojans are 
webhijackers preventing any browser from connecting to the AVG or SpyBot 
site and redirecting security searches to malware sites masquerading as 
security software vendors.

The machine has a paid-for Kaspersky Antivirus installation running. 
Obviously Kaspersky failed bigtime. It even got a good review from CNet 
(have they been biought too?).

Anybody know anything about Kaspersky?
