    Unless they have fixed it, there is a slight compatibility issue with Win10 and the start menu. I have it on a new laptop. Anytime I need to make changes to the start menu I have to turn off Kaspersky AV.

        There is also a silly issue with iTunes (under W10), which causes 50% cpu load after iTunes is shut down. However, whilst this has been blamed on Kaspersky, I have not confirmed it.

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

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

                  Kaspersky IS a virus. Don't trust those Ruskies! :mad:

                          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.

                                You end up leaking your information to someone, be it NSA, FSB or UK Intelligence.. so doesn't matter what you buy some government somewhere knows what your googling for :laugh:

                                I must disagree here. All those services collect data (legally or not), but they have different motivation and morale (if this word is applicable to such services). Also, I doubt, that NSA, CIA, MI5 or any other services in the world is responsible for murdering millions upon millions of people (own people, on top of that!), like FSB (which is ex-KGB) is! Sorry, but you are childishly comparing carrots to dicks here. So, no, it matters to whom the data leaks, and trust me, FSB is the last one I want my data leaking to. (about bacon I must agree though)
