Cyber-Insecurity

Post by RayThom »

Is anyone in here using Kaspersky Lab's antivirus software? If so, you may want to think about deleting it and going with something a little less "virusy." It may soon be proven this software is Putin approved, and has been instrumental in making America great again.

I found Kapersky to be a bloated resource hog that was a bitch to uninstall when I decided I didn't want it anymore.

On another note, apparently the WikiLeaks dump this past spring revealed a bunch of info on security products the CIA hackers have been working on breaking into and our old friend Avast came out on top as most secure. I've been using it for years now (since 2009) on home computers and have never had a single problem with viruses or hacking/ransomware.
