The Troubles with Kasperksy

The Troubles with Kaspersky

Some of my clients have expressed concern about using Kaspersky software due to news reports depicting Kaspersky in a bad light.

I believe to this day Kaspersky's software products offer good security against hacking and malware.

However, there is some concern about Kaspersky's collusion with the Russian government and being overly intrusive on customers' computers.

If you're interested in moving away from Kaspersky or need to install better security software to replace what you have now, here are some options.

Other options
If you’re willing to pay for security software, I’m currently recommending ESET. (Disclosure: I’m a reseller for their products.) As for free software, I’d recommend BitDefender for Mac and Avira for Windows. The free Malwarebytes is decent too; their paid version even better.

Note: Be careful about installing too many security software products. I’d recommend no more than two, because more than that can cause conflicts and bugger up your computer.

First line of security is you! 
The frontline of security is actually you, the user. So educate yourself on best practices for keeping safe online.

Here’s a good site to check out on that topic, whether you’re a senior or not: https://safeandsecureonline.org/seniors


Happy Thanksgiving!
