Honestly? Have you had problems with their software?

I certainly had. I was running Kaspersky 2014 before. After upgrading to 2016 they installed a sneaky proxy server and every web page got then scanned and modified by their proxy (in addition to taking like 5 seconds to load every page instead of a few milliseconds). You can't really deactivate this feature. I uninstalled.

Absolutely. So many problems that our company finally removed it. Outlook wouldn't work. Visual Studio had problems. It slowed the system down to a crawl.

Agreed. It tries to lock down everything. Good info. Thanks

It's what I use for the past year for my personal devices. It was ranked as the #1 virus catcher a few years ago.

Well you Pindos certainly have trust issues. Is that why you spy on most of the world, including your allies and your own people?

Actually, our government invented FaceBook so that we didn't have to spy anymore.

I don't know what a Pindo is. Could you enlighten me so I'll know whether to be offended or not?

Russian slang for Americans - something like Ruskies are for Russians in English. Both can be taken as offensive, or not.

Thanks, I learned a new word and I'll elect to not be offended.

I guess you also don't know what a web search is.

Actually, I was trying to call attention to the act of name calling. Your post seems to be another slam for no particular reason. Dis it make you feel better? FYI: pindo is defined in the Urban Dictionary.

"I was trying to call attention to the act of name calling"
Then you don't know how to do it ... especially when you later write "I'll elect to not be offended" in response to "Both can be taken as offensive, or not" -- if it's not taken offensively, then it's not name calling, any more than "Yank" is name calling. And you completely missed the point of the post using the word "Pindos"; it was a response to a slam against "Ruskies", so it called attention to name calling, and your take on this just looks hypocritical.
"Your post seems to be another slam for no particular reason."
No, my post had a very clear point, which is that there's no excuse for not knowing things that can be readily looked up.
"FYI: pindo is defined in the Urban Dictionary."
Of course I know that. If you have some point in mentioning it, you have failed to communicate it, just as with your previous comment.

It's silly to continue this. I quit. Bye.

I'll take that as tacit agreement to all my points. I win. Bye.

Bitdefender Internet Security is the best antivirus.

Kaspersky sells direct at what it considers a reasonable price. They have no control over the degree to which Amazon is prepared to cut its own throat on loss leaders and offers. Incidentally the UK price for the same product from Amazon is the equivalent of $36.00. We often have the privilege of subsidising US offers. You can thank us any time!

I shan't reply in kind. We Americans know how to hold our tongue.

Boy, I sure wish more of your fellow country-men would practise the dying art.
