The only direct connection I have had with Kaspersky software was when I was
asked by a client to install they paid for version and the computer would no
longer boot up... Needless to say it was removed and I have never used it
since.

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?
