Wow, that's pretty embarrassing. Although it's good that no customers information is believed to be compromised. That would be even worse for a security company.

Why not?

Just because the website was compromised for a few minutes after an error doesn't mean their antivirus is crap.

Well I think it is compared to free solutions.  Why pay when there is something just as good for free?

In my experience, Kaspersky is hugely different than any Free antivirus I know.

And if you want other opinions, look up 'top ten antiviruses'

Good question, but at the same time, look at how many more people use Microsoft Office, a paid program, compared to openoffice, a freeware program suite.

My school is actually converting to Open Office because they don't want to keep buying licenses for the new computers they're buying.

.................. There's easier ways to hack......
Why hack kapersky when you can hack Nortan or Norman.
By of those company's have basic webdata coding coding...

Even i could hack Norman, But there's no point.....

What could I possible gain? :P
