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)

Kaspersky & others: Why do they do this? -
Kaspersky & others: Why do they do this?Remember, that Kaspersky is a Russian company, and they/their owner have proven ties to FSB (Russian ex-KGB; I am too lazy to google it, but there was a story about it a few months ago). So, go ahead with Kaspersky, if you don't mind leaking your data to Kremlin (and potentially being a bot if full scale was starts). Otherwise, I would recommend e.g. Bitdefender (switched to it about 5 years ago, from Kaspersky, and all is really great!). The pricing is funny as well (ALL antivirus companies do it like that), so do your homework - 5 minutes googling will save you a hundred bucks easily, if you need it for e.g. five devices at home.

Source Control with Branching and VS support?Definitely you should take a look at Perforce - it is absolutely the best (but costs rather hefty $). We are using Subversion now (people were recommending it, and we thought we will save some money by not using Perforce), and I cannot say that it is very bad, but at the same time I am not sure that I will use it in my next project - slow, big repository, rather rudimentary tools (TortoiseSVN is worse than ancient WinCVS, and not even comparable to Perforce), many small issues (especially with branching/merging/reintegration).
