I would not recommend that people use Kaspersky. I would not recommend any antivirus for that matter. The antivirus industry is a scam to begin with. Operating System should be designed in a way that protects itself from viruses, not require additional software.

There's no piece of software that you can install on Microsoft Windows that will protect you from US government surveillance. Installing Kasperspky won't protect you from the NSA. lol

The increasing number of sanctions that the US is placing on countries around the world is showing that the US is losing it's grasp on power.

win10 antivirus is working fine-ish, outside of not liking its activator and keygens
