Because it's a good antivirus

You found one video supporting your viewpoint. Kaspersky's role in Russian intelligence has been an open secret since the mid 2010s. This is Facebook Anti-Vaxxer "research" methodology.

The guy ho made the video works as data analyst, plus Kaspersky works perfectly as antivirus. Can you gave me evidence supporting your claim?

Not that it was a secret at any point. That company has that approach to advertising and PR reminiscent of hacker movies as normies, lamers and "Windows power users" perceive them. Usually when there's bullshit in one part, you expect it to be there in other parts too.

But - their "antivirus check tool" or something was very convenient for me to remove winlockers somewhere in 2007. I do remember the good things.

Kaspersky was actually good a long time ago, but there was a shakeup and the FSB started to get more involved in their operations somehow. Its not safe now, is what i'm saying.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
