And yet, Best Buy last year canceled their arrangement with Kaspersky Labs claiming they are scanning computers for the KGB.

Would Eugene do that?

Actually, better he than Best Buy!

What FBI knows can get you indicted. What KGB knows is what KGB knows (unless you have a high clearance that KGB knows about — then you are well and truly F-ed).

I've been interested in this story since Best Buy gave me a copy of Kaspersky Internet Security with my protection plan for my computer.

I like the software, and it gets high marks, but I don't quite know what to make of the recent stories. On the one hand, an NSA worker took home protected documents which KIS detected and sent signature data back home to be analyzed. That's what the software is supposed to do when it heuristically detects a virus, right? On the other hand, Russia...

Do you have any thoughts on this? I'm all eyes.
